Abstract
Most patient education materials are written at least two grade levels above the average grade achievement of health care consumers. This paper describes the development of a patient education manual for people with low literacy skills. The manual provides information about pressure ulcer prevention for patients with spinal cord injuries. Educational principles related to literacy skills were applied to produce a manual at the fifth-grade reading level.
