PREPARING FOR LIFE AND
CAREER
by Louise A. Liddell Suggested Grade Levels 6–9
and Yvonne S. Gentzler, © 2013, 7th Edition
Preparing for Life and Career gives students the tools they need to
develop skills they can use throughout their lives and careers. Teens are
challenged to learn how to develop and keep successful relationships,
be a good family member, and contribute to their community. The
responsibilities of child care, clothing care, and home maintenance—and
how to handle them—are also presented.
• Organized into 27 chapters presented as short, easy-to-read sections.
• New chapter is devoted to transportation options.
• Includes many new photos and charts to stimulate interest in learning
more.
• Interesting questions are posed throughout the text to encourage critical
thinking and problem solving.
• Common Core activities encourage the mastery of skills needed for
college and career readiness. Other chapter activities promote Journal
Writing opportunities, Technology applications, and FCCLA participation.
