This report presents information gained through an international survey of organizations that produce and distribute easy-to-read materials designed for persons with low-level literacy skills. Questionnaires were sent to approximately 500 publishers, printers, and organizers of literacy programs throughout the world; of these, 95 questionnaires, returned by publishers in more than 40 countries, contained enough information to be included in the report. Results of the survey are summarized according to five categories of information: the types of organizations that prepare or publish easy-to-read materials; the types of materials prepared; the background and training of writers of the materials; the ways in which materials are distributed; and publishers' comments about their materials. The report includes a copy of the questionnaire used and provides a directory of the 95 responding publishers, with information on each publisher's type of organization, objectives, languages of publication, readership, authors, distribution mechanisms, other activities, and types of publications.
