MN Dept of Ed Grant helps create health literacy  materials

With a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education supervised by the
Minnesota Literacy  Council I have created online and hard copy introductions
and exercises to teach basic health literacy in English and 3 immigrant
languages. Technology which including streaming audio in Arabic, Hmong and
Somali make this health information accessible to very low level learners and
the additional printed copies and on-line and printed exercises all reinforce
the basic survival information being taught.

This project includes a total of 16 multimedia presentations, 8 online quizzes
and 24 pdf documents.

There are 4 kinds of multimedia presentations :
Prescription labels
OTC Labels
Special Warning Labels
Side Effects
Each presentation is available in 4 languages; English, Arabic, Hmong and
Somali.

There are 8 online html quizzes which review this information.

There are pdf versions of the four Presentations in the same four languages,
and there are 8 pdf versions of the quizzes.

All of this information as well as an answer key are available online at
