Health Literacy Resources & Summitt

Florida will have a health literacy summit on July 26, http://www.floridaliteracy.org/healthsummit.html. You can get free health information through your computer at the Florida Electronic library. Learn about it in a previous post.  

The site has magazine articles and the following reference books which can be searched. Some health problems, like diabetes, require more reading than others. If your student has a health problem, learning to read medical terms might be one of his goals. If so, you could include lessons that include vocabulary to help them.
