Becoming a Citizen (True Books: Civics)
Grade 3-5-The first book defines what a citizen is and gives an  overview of the process of becoming one. The second book  describes different types of taxes, why they are paid, and what  services they support. Each title is illustrated with clear,  captioned photographs that emphasize points made in the text.  Historical references are illustrated with archival images. Both  texts are written in a clear, concise, straightforward style.  Other titles about these topics are written on higher reading  levels with increased complexity. These books will serve as  resources for units about local, state, and federal government.  ESL teachers and adults providing education and assistance to  immigrants may find them valuable as well.Janie Schomberg, Leal  Elementary School, Urbana, ILCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
