Developing lessons using a globe might afford your learner with some basic
concepts of position (north, south, east, west), as well as size.  A globe
would be accessible to someone just learning to read, and there is a lot you
could do to scaffold all sorts of geographical phenomena, depending on your
learner's interests/needs.  Also,  http://www.petersmap.com/ features a
unique area map and provides teacher resources.  Good luck!
