Alaska State Dept. of Ed. offers Health-related Reading Resource
 The State Department of Education has created a supplementary reading/health program to encourage teachers throughout the state to use children's books as a starting point for important discussions about health-related topics. The lists give a synopsis of each book and end with a spreadsheet that lists each book title and the health topics it could address. Most of the books should be available in your school or local libraries.  Please note:  Alaska PTA is not promoting the reading of all of these books; we are providing a resource for you to preview and use at your disgression, based on the needs, values, and interests of your family.
