# Easy Read (/docs/enhance/easy-read)
Easy Read is an adaptation of the content into simpler language and structure — shorter sentences, common words, one idea at a time. It supports learners with intellectual disabilities, learners still developing literacy, and anyone who benefits from plainer text.
An Easy Read version is not a summary and not a replacement. It is the same content, made more approachable, offered alongside the original.
## Decisions to make [#decisions-to-make]
* **Does your audience need it?** If the ADT will be used in inclusive classrooms, an Easy Read version widens who can participate meaningfully.
* **Review is essential.** Simplifying content is a pedagogical act. Check that the simplified version preserves the meaning and does not talk down to the reader.
## Configure and generate [#configure-and-generate]
Easy Read needs your book's pages laid out first — if [Storyboard](/docs/convert-pdf/storyboard) isn't finished yet, the stage tells you so instead of letting you run it. Tune the **Easy Read Prompt** (and how many blocks are processed per batch) in settings if you want to steer the simplification, then select **Run Easy Read**.
## Review and edit [#review-and-edit]
Once it's generated, every simplified text block sits side-by-side with its original, grouped by page. Search across original or Easy Read text, and jump between pages if the book has several. Select a block's Easy Read text to edit it in place.
Readers switch between the original and simplified text with an Easy Read toggle in the ADT itself — this stage doesn't remove or replace the original, it produces the alternate version alongside it. Every edit and re-run is saved as a new version, so you can always roll back.
The point of Easy Read isn't to make the "real" version disappear — it's to give readers a choice. A well-reviewed Easy Read block reads as its own complete thought, not a note about the original.
