MINDING ME 1: MY WELL BEING TEXTBOOK  

  • Icons are used throughout this series to indicate which type of well-being is being addressed or which subject is linked to the corresponding text or activity. Icons are also used to indicate when numeracy or literacy skills are a key part of an activity.

This edition fully complies with the current SPHE syllabus but extensive new material has been added to provide teachers with a useful bridge to the forthcoming Well-Being subject.
