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.
