Instructional writing styles reflect the varied ways of constructing and representing written instructions in the process of Instructional Design. Decisions around characteristics like tone of voice, tense, sentence structure, formality of language, sophistication of vocabulary, and use of text layout, fuse to form a particular writing style. The preferred aim of the author is to creatively fuse these characteristics in a way that best teaches the subject of the writing to the intended audience.

Whilst instructional writing styles vary depending on culture and industry, there have traditionally also varied by individual authors, informed by their own subjective writing style- which is often tacit in nature. However, as benefactors of instructional programmes increasingly look to educate larger audiences, and look to represent instructional writings through media and learning technologies, authors are expected to both collaborate with other authors and work alongside multi-disciplined educational profession. This has led to the emergence of more overt definitions to instructional styles.

As with other forms of writing, there is no prescriptive limitation on instructional writing style. However, there are examples of best practice and a selection of models, which can be considered to better communicate with the intended audience. These can be brought together in a dynamic form of a style guide.
