my HS debate coach told us "never forget that most people read below a 9th grade level so if you want them to understand you you have to speak to them like HS freshman"

when I was in nursing school, they taught us to health teach at a 3rd grade reading level.... I kid you not, when I talk to some of my patients, its like talking to a brick wall.

The surprising part is that you don't even have to read anymore.
You can have your phone read for you, yet they are still not doing it.

Ruin it for me👁️👃👁️ :
I was reading at a college level by the 5th grade, so when I learned this fact it absolutely floored me. Then I remembered half of my siblings all dropped out in HS and jr.high. So 😳

And if I don't know a word, I Google, it. the cell phone was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because it helps me navigate the world when I can't read.

I've never been the best reader. never liked it, have ADHD so I can't retain well just looking at words on a page, but damn I'll at least get through it eventually

I think I’m it’s important to remember though when we belabor ourselves w WHY do they believe something they can’t just look up? Bc they are relying solely on what they can hear, not read

I work in Healthcare and we are constantly asked to "dumb" things down when we speak to patients, to at least a 4th grade level across the board.
