The Citizenship Lesson Guidebook was developed for tutors working with low-literate students studying to prepare for the U.S. naturalization test. It was designed by Alan Sefton, a Literacy Mid-South tutor, with the help of Philip McDermott, an AmeriCorps*VISTA. Many ESL students that are eager to demonstrate their commitment to our country through citizenship are beginning level students, but study for citizenship test preparation is designed for students at higher levels. The desire for citizenship can often be a primary goal when ESL students enroll in a class or seek tutoring. Research shows that persistence for adults in education begins with goal setting and students being matched with instruction to meet their needs. The lessons presented in this guidebook allow the beginning student to study with a civics focus and prepare for the citizenship exam. The lesson outlines can be used in one-on-one tutoring or small group settings. The rate of progression may be varied according to your student, and the lesson outlines can extend over several sessions where needed. An excellent resource list can be found at the end of the guidebook. It is the desire of Literacy Mid-South that students become literate and have a passion for life-long learning.
