Books in Teen Health series

Teen Health is Glencoe's middle school health series, designed for students in grades 6-8. The 3-book program serves the need of those schools where health is taught in more than one grade level. The program's strength in the classroom has always been the self-contained, 4-6 page lessons. This structure provides flexibility, allowing the teacher to tailor the course to their specific teaching methods and to the school or district's health education framework. Teen Health features a 1-column format for ease in readability, and includes visual elements such as graphs, charts, tables, and infographics. Lesson and chapter features are attractively designed and easy to distinguish from content. Each side-column feature has its own unique design.
