    Lisa, I am so impressed with this blog. It is so well done. Congratulations and Kudos on your on this product. I appreciate being included on it.

    Thanks for posting this link to a website on health literacy. It appears to be appropriate for beginning ESOL and ABE students. It is called “Health Literacy Now!” and is created for educational purposes by a doctor named Nadia Ali. It is not tied to a commercial interest. There is a way to contact Dr, Ali in the disclaimer section of the Web site. Keep up the great work!

  2. Just wanted to share this site for health literacy resources. http://healthliteracy.worlded.org/
    "The goal of the Health Literacy Special Collection is to provide a starting point for finding health literacy resources that will help people from many sectors to improve health literacy, improve health outcomes, and reduce disparities in health. We hope that these resources will help those in adult education, health care, and other fields to address health literacy in their settings, and also to help them form collaborations with each other.The resources include curricula, training opportunities, easy-to-read health information, research, background information, and links to groups who are doing promising work."
    Hope the resources will be helpful!
    Lynn
