1. Know your audience
Writing for elementary school children is not the same as writing for secondary school or tertiary institution students. The problem is different, so is the language and the traditions, e.g. young men have strong desire, they like to be superior, elderly men are suspicious.
2. Not just facts.
If you don’t use examples the reader won’t remember the facts.
3. Point of view
This makes your writing readable; you must have a hero who undergoes trials and tribulations. He must have a name (not cute names) e.g. do not call a lung cancer doctor Dr. Cough or a pathologist John crime. This makes it a joke and should be avoided.
You can use animals e.g. a horse with a broken leg. An U.S. Army taught Malaria with a booklet about Ann the Anopheles Mosquito.
4. Human interest
You measure this by the number of human names you use, e.g. aunt, guy, etc.
1) Use Dialogues: people choose to read dialogues over any other writing style.
2) Use conversational writing:
Write the way you speak.
3) Sentence length
Short sentences are easy to read and comprehend. Use complex sentences now and again but punctuate them well.
5. Great beginning and strong ending.
Your beginning should capture interest, e.g. grab the reader, introduce character and establish a setting.
Make the end interesting and worth thinking about.
6. Avoid heavy sounding words: -
Lighten your writing for enjoyable reading.
