Overview - UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION TEACHERS BINDER
This complete, easy-to-use program makes the Constitution accessible to students
with limited reading skills. This standards-based, field-tested program is appropriate
for middle and high school students and can be used with American government,
U.S. history, ESL, and adult literacy classes. The low reading level, sophisticated
page layout, and age-appropriate illustrations make the student text and activities
appealing to struggling readers. Use as a primary text or as a supplement to
existing programs. For on-level students, students with learning differences,
students with behavior challenges, and students and adults who are reading below
grade level.
STUDENT TEXT
The full-color, 32-page student text presents the United States Constitution,
the Bill of Rights, and the amendments rewritten at a 3.0-3.9 reading level.
The consumable text also addresses the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of
Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and other issues that prompted
the writing of the Constitution. The student text discusses the branches of
government, checks and balances, federalism, how a bill becomes a law, and the
federal court system. Also covers the roles of political leaders, such as George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, in the creation of the
United States government. Text includes a time line, flow charts, and a glossary.
TEACHER’S BINDER
The 123-page, reproducible teacher’s binder includes 49 student worksheets
that reinforce each section of the student text. Includes true/false, multiple-choice,
matching, fill-in-the-blank, and crossword-puzzle activities. Teacher’s
binder also has copies of original documents, such as the Declaration of Independence,
the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution; a review; pre- and posttests;

"The United States Constitution"
by
Lisa Wednesday, February 11, 2009
I used this set with my Resource US Government class. The information in the text book we used did not go in depth into the Constitution. PCI's The United States Constitution set was great. I love the review handouts and the tests really show how much the students learn.

I have used this text with my ESL Government students because it explains the content of the regular curriculum in plain, simple language and short, concise chapters. They learn the same concepts along side the regular ed students but in an easy to read text. This text benefits my low students as well. The charts, time line, and visuals illustrate these complex historical and government concepts and make them easier to comprehend and grasp. This text beautifully paraphrases one of the most difficult to read documents of American history in simple, easy, and clear statements so ESL and struggling readers can understand the points of the Constitution. Any student would benefit from using this text to introduce, review, or reiterate the concepts covered by the Constitution and the basic structure of American government and the history of democracy.
