Student
Oriented Web Sites and Study Aids
The
International Institute of Rhode Island’s citizenship
study site is still under construction, but it already offers easily
accessible citizenship preparation for students, with simply written
text and illustration. The site includes history/government information,
sample completed forms (but watch out—they use an outdated version of
the N-400 application) sample interviews, practice questions, and review
games.
Metro
North Adult Education Program has designed a comprehensive
on-line study program, which is free to Minnesota residents; all others
pay $20 for web site access or $50 for web site access plus a window/mac
CD. Hint: Libraries or adult education programs can buy one subscription
that gives access to the study program to multiple learners.
Lynne Weintraub’s Quia Games page

the first three chapters from the textbook "Citizenship: Passing the Test."

practice citizenship test. Another one is available

"100 questions" list into 28 topic categories. There are practice
questions and background information (with graphics) provided for each catagory,

Ben's
Guide is meant to help children learn about US Government. But
it can also be useful for adults studying for the citizenship test. For fun,
try the easy picture
matching game, or the vocabulary
puzzle.
