[ISLMA-Share] health/diseases research

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I think that KidsHealth is a great resource. When I have students use our
Destiny catalog to locate websites, often KidsHealth is among the results.
I have never come across something that looked questionable on it. We also
often use the Mayo Clinic site, but that may be a little over sixth
graders' heads. I think KidsHealth is a good reading level for 6th.
