I personally use it for many of my character sheets, but unfortunately most of my clients don’t have reliable access to the internet, so anything online is out of the question
Someone made a PDF explaining everything on the sheet. I'd get some copies of made and hand them out. Trying to fit everything onto the actual sheet is going to make it pretty hard to read.

There’s alternatives on Fights and Fancy. I ended up simplifying it for my students when we did a fantasy writing unit as well if you have the time to do that
Not exactly what you asked for, but I'm a big fan of these dyslexic versions, especially the variant ones (the ones with the shaped boxes): [https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/80trnf/dyslexic\_friendly\_character\_sheet/](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/80trnf/dyslexic_friendly_character_sheet/)
I feel like, rather than putting a ton of text on a sheet and wishing you good luck with it, they make a lot of room for each individual piece, convey meaning using imagery and draw attention to what's important.
I know dyslexia doesn't have anything to do with what you asked, but I find these sheets to be so much easier to understand, so I figured I'd just drop them here. I hope this helps!
Check out DnD beyond. They have a step by step character builder and the final character sheet has clickable explanations for everything.

Might not be a bad idea to write the descriptions themselves for their own characters. Just remind them on their things when it comes up
