r. Gilbert Yang recently authored the Health portion of four textbooks just off the press last May, 2019.
Published by Abiva Publishing House, Inc., these textbooks are all aligned with the K-12 Curriculum of the
DDepartment of Education.

The grade school textbooks “Sing, Sketch, Stretch and Stay Healthy” (2nd edition), cater to Grades 1 and 2. As early
as 6 or 7 years old, children learn about healthy food, healthy habits and caring for the sense organs. Foodborne
and parasitic diseases as well as staying safe are also tackled in these books.

The high school textbooks for grades 7 and 8 are entitled “Power Up with MAPEH”. Health and nutrition focus on
the teenager from 13 – 15 years of age. Physical, mental and emotional health are discussed within the framework
of the Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health class of high school students. All the books are student-friendly,
using simple words and illustrations to convey big concepts to the child and to the teenager.

The PDS is proud to have one of our members contribute to the fundamental knowledge of today’s youth.
