Plain Language: Getting Started or Brushing Up

The National Institutes of Health developed this self-paced training on plain language writing. The training consists of five sections:
  • Before You Start Writing
  • Connecting With Your Readers
  • Presenting Your Information
  • Formatting and Visual Clarity
  • Testing and Revising

The training includes a checklist you can print. In each section, you will find a number of cards you can flip through to learn about using plain language in your work. When you are done with the final section, you can print a certificate of completion.
