Nutrition Education Materials for
Use in the WIC Program
Introduction
This list of resource materials has been compiled
by the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to assist State and
local agencies in providing nutrition education to
WIC Program participants and personnel. It updates
the listings published in March and October 1976,
and gives additional materials.
The contents of the materials on this list were re­viewed
for accuracy and for appropriateness to
WIC participants. The materials included represent
a broad spectrum of formats, content, and
sophistication.They should be used selectively as
sources of ideas to supplement existing materials.
A grade level of reading difficulty is given for most
publications. This is based on the " Dale-Chall
Formula for Predicting Readability," (Bureau of
Educational Research, Ohio State University) and
"A Table for Rapid Determination of Dale-Chall
Readability Scores" (George R. Klare, Educational
Research Bulletin, I, No. 2, February 13, 1952,
pp. 43-47). No grade level for an item indicates
an illustrated pubiication with not enough words
to determine reading difficulty.
Requests for copies of materials on this listing
should be sent directly to the agency or company
cited. Multiple copies of print materials from trade
associations and professional organizations are
free or inexpensive. Only single copies of materials
from State or local agencies are available. How­ever,
these agencies will allow reproduction of
their free materials with the stipulation that proper
credit be given on the publication.
