This teaching guide introduces and gives advice on using a series of health promotion materials in adult basic education classes. The series was developed with input from adult learners. This guide describes the series and offers advice on staff preparation and suggestions for lesson preparation. The guide is organized in six sections that cover the following topics: description of the series, goals and objectives, staff preparation, lesson preparation, considerations in preparing instructional materials, and additional reading (abstracts of 21 suggested readings). Three appendixes include a health issues survey and acknowledgements of persons who helped in the development of the materials and others who were involved in the project. (KC)
