The Child-to-Child Primary Health Readers have been developed to teach and encourage primary school children in Africa to become concerned with the health and general development of their pre-school brothers and sisters and other children in the community.
Each book has been written by an experienced educationalist in conjunction with a panel of medical and language specialists. The books have been graded into three reading levels, and each book deals with a different health topic of relevance to children in Africa.
Uncle George Feeds His Baby is a Level 1 reader which shows children the importance of good nutrition for healthy growth and development. The book explains that good nutrition begins from birth with breastfeeding and continues with a mixed diet based on regularly eating a wide range of foods.
The readers can be used as an integral part of a primary Science, Social Studies, Environmental Science, Home Economics or Health Science curriculum. They can also be used in language lessons.
