Adults learn more readily, and remember longer when information is immediately applicable and brief. Easy reading and learning require clear, concise writing free of unnecessary qualifiers, uncommon words, and complex sentence structure. For a quick test, read aloud a few paragraphs from various sections of the material you are considering. If you run out of breath between periods, or the words tangle your tongue, continue your search for effective materials. Checklist Tone is conversational.
