Citizenship Resources
The Internet is a treasure trove for citizenship test preparation. For ESL students, web sites are often better than books because many ease the challenge by featuring audio. (It’s important to remember that for the famous 100 questions section of the citizenship interview, a student needs to understand the questions when they’re spoken, and be able to speak the answers.)
For just about everything you need to know about studying for citizenship, you can visit the official U.S .Government Web site, the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services): https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learners/study-test. The site gives a great overview of the requirements as well as links to study resources.
Another site, http://www.citizenshipstudyguide.com, features interactive study, including audio for the questions; interactive flashcards; a famous person matching game; and an interactive practice quiz.
For more depth on civics and simple explanations of key civics topics and historical events, try http://americanhistory.si.edu/citizenship/. This site, called Preparing for the Oath, is interactive, with visuals and audio, with options for a word study with definitions, and a teacher’s guide.
