Steck-Vaughn has a Literacy level text, Real Life English, which correlates
with CASAS and SCANS competencies. Other than that, I just use a lot of
survival skills materials from multiple sources, and a lot of realia. I
assume you mean no/low literacy skills in their primary language? Teaching
listening/speaking along with reading/writing is essential, with a lot of
structure and repetition, but you knew that. A lot of Basic Literacy
material would work just as well.
