Please keep in mind that while many people may struggle with the written word, very few people in the US are illiterate.

Hello Everyone.
 
I am in the process of preparing a curriculum involving simulated hospital patients, particularly those who might be illiterate, and was wondering if anyone had sample material to share. Given all our tight schedules, it's never great to re-invent the wheel. Thank you in advance.
