English as a Second Language, Foreign Languages 

Rights and Responsibilities: Reading and Communication for Civics will greatly aid newcomers to the United States who must simultaneously learn English and adjust to American housing, work, school, finance, health, and political systems and practices. Each chapter skillfully combines practical information with activities that develop reading, vocabulary, and conversation skills as students learn how to establish banking credit, register to vote, use a library, and enroll children in schools and sports programs. Rights and Responsibilities can be used as core text for adult classes to focus on EL civics education, used as a civics-oriented supplement to a secondary ESL language arts program, or used as a supplement to an ESL/ELD basal series. This teacher's manual is designed to accompany the Rights and Responsibilities student book. - from Amzon
