The Nemours Foundation operates a great website on children's health: www.kidshealth.org >From the home page, you can click on PARENTS, KIDS, or TEENS. Each section has articles geared for the respective group: namely, articles for parents about kids and teens; articles for a kid audience; articles for a teen audience. The site also includes research summaries. You can search each part of the site, or select from a list of general subjects. The site includes Spanish. Articles are generally clear and direct. Articles are written and reviewed by health professionals. If your students' reading levels are below that of the articles, you can at least use the site to get valuable, nonjudgmental information. I have used this site with success in a family literacy program where student reading levels are 5.0 and above. Parents have found it easy to navigate and read.
