Goal: Show writers how to create clear, concise headings that guide readers and make texts easier to navigate.
Headings help readers understand what a text is about. A clear and meaningful heading tells the reader what to expect.
Headings should be:
- Short (just a few words)
- Easy to understand
- Related to the content below them, i.e. “Section 1. How to apply for a job”
Good headings make your text easier to read and help readers find the information they need quickly. They also make your text look more organized.
Think of headings as a friendly guide for your reader. Be clear, and your readers will thank you!
