American Government: Foundations

Foundations explains the beginnings of the American political system, including historical background. Chapters introduce the concepts of a federal republic, with relevant facts that keep young adults engaged.

The American Government series brings five essential civics topics, political parties, the presidency, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the foundations of government, down to a reading level striving readers can actually access, without watering down the content. Written at a Hi-Lo level for grades 6-12 (approximately grade 3.5 reading level, HL320L-HL350L), each handbook uses clear, direct language and a more personal, engaging tone than a standard textbook, so students who tune out of dense civics text stay with the material instead.
