It means using concrete, familiar language that sounds like every-day speech. It means formatting documents to make information accessible, easy to read, to follow and to visualize.

Instructional designers do not need to worry that highly skilled readers will be offended by simple, clearly written materials. Someone who is capable of reading at a highly skilled level does not necessarily prefer difficult texts.
