This book has been a really useful one for us, as I used it to teach all three of my older kids about the U.S. Constitution.It goes through the Constitution a step at a time after giving some of the historical background of how it was written. Articles and amendments are explained in clear terms and punctuated with illustrations, so as not to overwhelm the reader. There are many pages of exercises, plus several more with fun activities. An answer key is included. There is also a Constitution trivia game with "game cards" you can photocopy and use.
The book says it's written for grades 5-8+. I think older students (grade 8+) would get a lot more out of it than younger students. I used it when mine were in high school, primarily because I kept postponing a study of the Constitution because there were so many other subjects we wanted to cover.
This book is softcover, has 158 pages, was printed in 1987 and is in good condition. Sorry....this one's sold.
