Abstract
Textbooks used for content area subjects are often too difficult for mainstreamed students. Teachers may have to adapt the text to reduce readability and conceptual difficulty. Simplifying text involves attention to content, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Guidelines drawn from psycholinguistic research are presented to assist the teacher in this task. An example of simplified text is included.
