Each unit includes an introduction, the objectives to be met, a listing of motivating activities, developmental goals including specific learning activities, a vocabulary list of new words, a teacher evaluation, suggested audio-visual aids, and suggested supplementary books for pupils. Unit titles are citizenship and patriotism, family and community, housing the family, feeding the family, clothing the family, traveling in the community, communicating with other people, physical fitness and recreation, and seasons and holidays. A bibliography is provided for teachers which lists curriculum publications, books, periodicals, filmstrips, records and pamphlets with related activities; several books are listed for parents. An appendix gives a check list for the evaluation of a pupil's level of competency on educational and developmental tasks and a sample field trip permission slip. (WW)
