December's ESL manual, Talk of the Block,  is actually a series of four short books that feature lessons on four survival skill topics: Home, Health, Family, and Shopping.  The books are excellent to practice vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing for beginner - high beginner level students (ESOL 1 - 3).  Each reading is made up of simple words using only short vowel sounds to ensure that they are appropriate for lower level students.
