Voices of Freedom has helped hundreds of thousands of students on their path to United States citizenship.  The new full-color edition with three audio CDs prepares students for the civics and English requirements of the new U.S. citizenship test.  It also serves as a basic course for students enrolled in adult EL/Civics programs. 



A research-based sequence of integrated grammar, vocabulary, and topics develops students’ language skills and civics knowledge simultaneously. 
Simple narrative readings and hundreds of photographs present U.S. history and government in a context-rich and easy-to-read format. 
Civics Check sections offer practice with the 100 official citizenship questions and answers. 
Authentic dialogs develop students’ language skills for a successful citizenship interview and spoken-English exam. 
Reading and writing tests prepare students for the specific test formats used during the exam. 
Check-Up sections provide all-skills language practice including listening comprehension. 
Unit tests provide ongoing assessment and practice. 
Civic participation activities, including projects, debates, and “online field trips,” enrich learning and meet EL/Civics goals. 
Preparatory units help lower-level students practice basic personal information required on the N-400 citizenship application. 
A Teacher’s Guide offers step-by step instructions, expansion activities, and reproducibles for practice and assessment. 

Audio CDs include all readings, dialogs, the 100 official citizenship questions, and listening comprehension activities.

 

The new Activity & Test Prep Workbook provides supplemental reading, writing, and interview practice for the citizenship exam.
