As a program coordinator for a community literacy center with a limited budget (serving students whose budgets are often even more limited), I am always excited when I find good, FREE resources for ELL literacy tutors and their students. This is one.
Staying Healthy, a health literacy curriculum for ELLs, was published by the Florida Literacy Coalition last year. This is a great, comprehensive, basic health literacy curriculum.
I have found the units on doctor visits and medications particularly good useful in my classes. The literacy tutors I work with are impressed by the strategic use of good graphics throughout this resource. The unit on chronic disease is not sufficient to stand alone, but provides a good springboard to further discussion.
