Summary: This is not a good book to use for health class.
Review: I am a 7th grade student and we use this book for health class. Most of my friends and I think that the lessons don't make sense. We did the chapter on emotional health this week. I had to ask my mom who is a counselor to explain the lesson and even she had difficulty understanding what they were trying to say. This is a very confusing book. We were going to buy the book so we could work on the lessons at home but it costs too much.

Summary: Perfect Text for Low Level Readers and ESL Students
Review: Recently our school has been reviewing many text books for yournew health class. Our school is in an Urban district with many Englishas a Second Language students, so the problem that we found is that the challenge becomes the reading not the information. With the this text the reading level is low compared to the information presented. We were amazed at the supporting resources avalible. The book is very interactive with many options for labs and home activities. Our school has choosen this text to be implemented in our curriculum for the 2000-01 school year.
