What is Easy-to-Read (E2R)?
Easy-to-Read, also known as E2R, is a universal language designed to make information accessible to everyone — especially for people with:
- Intellectual disabilities
- Cognitive or language disorders
- Low literacy or limited understanding of written French
Easy-to-Read follows a European standard method, with clear rules defined by the organization Inclusion Europe.
Key Rules of Easy-to-Read Content
1. Short, simple, and direct sentences
Example: “The start is on the Champs-Élysées.”
No subclauses — one idea per sentence.
2. Simple and concrete words
Example: “You must bring a medical document” instead of “Participants are required to provide a medical certificate.”
3. Common and familiar vocabulary
Example: “How to register” instead of “Registration procedure.”
Example: “Price” instead of “Pricing.”
4. Active voice
Example: “You must bring your ID” instead of “An ID must be presented.”
5. Pictograms or emojis to guide the reader
Use emojis (📅, 🏁, 🧾, etc.) to simulate pictograms.
They act as visual markers that help users navigate the page more easily.
6. A clear structure with visible titles
Each section has a short, straightforward title that can be identified at a glance.
Example: “🎽 Collect your race bib.”
7. Bullet points or numbered lists
Information is broken down step by step:
- Go to the website
- Click on “Register”
This helps reduce cognitive load and improves understanding.
8. No complex abbreviations
Example: FFA = French Athletics Federation.
9. A reassuring and engaging tone
Example: “You can find simple tips here.”
The goal is to guide and encourage the reader, not to sound formal or distant.
10. A clear and concise summary at the end
The section “📌 Quick Summary” recaps all the key information — like a memory aid without jargon.
Why This Format Works for an Accessibility Page
✅ Cognitively accessible:
Information is clearly structured, explicit, and easy to follow — no prior knowledge of sports or digital platforms is required.
✅ Visually accessible:
Use of well-separated content blocks, emojis/pictograms to guide the reading flow, and clear titles.
✅ Technically accessible:
The HTML structure can include ARIA attributes and is easily readable by screen readers.
Who Benefits From Easy-to-Read Content?
- People with intellectual or cognitive disabilities
- Older adults or people less comfortable with digital tools
- Non-native speakers or those who don’t speak French fluently
- Anyone feeling anxious or unfamiliar with their first race experience
