This complete, easy-to-use program helps middle and high school students understand the basics of American government.

The Living in the United States Series is an abbreviated version of traditional basal programs. The low reading level; sophisticated page layout; and up-to-date, age-appropriate visuals make each Student Text and accompanying activities appealing to struggling readers. These standards-based programs are appropriate for on-level students, students with learning differences, and students and adults reading below grade level.

The full-color, 48-page Student Text features four easy-to-read chapters that focus on the laws and court systems of the U.S. Students will learn the basic structure and functions of the judicial branch and the U.S. Supreme Court; the difference between trial courts and courts of appeals; jurisdiction; and the trial process and its participants. Students will investigate important Supreme Court cases; learn how the juvenile justice system works; discover how laws about driving, drugs, and alcohol affect young people; understand search and seizure laws; and more. "You Decide" sections allow students to apply the law to "real-life" situations.

The 110-page, reproducible Teacher’s Resource has 64 student worksheets that reinforce each section of the Student Text.

This program is ideal for:

  • Special Education / Special Needs
  • Struggling Learners
  • Students-at-Risk
  • Learning Disabled
  • Remedial Education
  • Differentiated Education
