How to read a nutrition fact label
We gave our students different labels of nutritional information of orange jams and
packages or rice. The idea was not only to see a frame with numbers and letters, but
also what do they all mean. This activity was developed by a group of students with
special education needs. That´s why the group of students is smaller and the activity
needs to be guided by the teacher. With a nutrition fact frame of orange jam and of
rice as examples, we took some labels and learnt how to read and understand all the
information contented on it. So we marked the nutrition facts of the products, the
composition of the product, the quantity of this product (jam or rice) a person could
eat in a healthy way.
