| contents | The Plain Writing Act in the United States requires government documents to be accessible in clear and simple language that the general public can easily understand, yet existing summarization systems struggle to address diverse linguistic and cognitive barriers among general readers. We present NRLB (No Reader Left Behind), a multi-agent framework for plain language summarization that simulates three representative reader groups: elementary school student readers, non-native readers, and readers with attention deficits. NRLB combines template-based planning with iterative, reader-oriented refinement, enabling systematic detection and resolution of difficult terms, missing contexts, and confusing sentences. Evaluations across multiple datasets demonstrate consistent improvements in readability while preserving factual accuracy. Human evaluation further validates NRLB's impact, with annotator preference rates ranging from 55% to 76%, highlighting NRLB's potential to produce plain language summaries that are both faithful to the source and broadly accessible to the general public. |
