You may want to check out the Expecting the Best curriculum, which is
designed for high beginner/low intermediate ESL students
(www.expectingthebest.org). It covers health care navigation skills and
nutrition.
I also really like Kate Singleton's picture stories, which are
available on-line; I know many of the ESL instructors that I've worked
with also find them useful.
