I would make sure that the content was easy to read. Look into readability metrics just as a quick way of checking that language is not too complex. Text to be read by most adults should score between 60-70 on the Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES). This can be calculated by Microsoft Word (Tools->Options->Spelling & Grammar->Show Readability Statistics in most versions) or by any number of free tools and web sites. Note that readability statistics are just a crude check. Lewis Carroll's poem, Jabberwocky, scores very well on the FRES but makes no sense at all<g>.
