Health educators all over the world recognize the importance of developing easy to read,
"low literacy" materials for their intended audiences.




Colorful revistas are low-anxiety and high esteem producing because they are entertaining to
read and easy to understand. Fotonovelas and historietas are traditionally the most popular
reading materials among Hispanics worldwide.

Dolores y Esperanza, our first fotonovela, was produced
for the National Arthritis Foundation in 1984.
Saturday Night Special, produced in 1987,
was one of the first fotonovelas ever
produced on HIV/AIDS. Through the
nationally acclaimed California AIDS
Clearinghouse and ETR Associates, it
has reached over two million people.
¡Caminemos! for the University of
California at Los Angeles (UCLA)
is being used in a research project
to encourage Hispanic seniors to
walk and stay healthy!
