The key information topics should be organized in the order that the reader will use them. The content of the material emphasizes the legitimacy of different lifestyles, cultures, and values through either the text or illustrations. Emphasis on family, family themes and family values are one way to accomplish this objective. The material is unsatisfactory when the content of the material does not address practices or life circumstances of a Hispanic audience or does not respect personal or cultural differences. Effective material often limits the number of concepts that can be presented.
Points are clear and logically ordered to provide a smooth, continuous flow of ideas.
Important facts are given first and last so that they are best remembered. Material is often unsatisfactory when there is an excess of information, ideas are not organized or logically sequenced, and it assumes that the reader has a wealth of background knowledge of the topic.
