Educating for Citizenship in the Elementary Grades.
Pereira, Carolyn
Phi Delta Kappan, v69 n6 p429-31 Feb 1988
Describes the "Educating for Citizenship" program, comprising curriculum materials based on the real-life experiences of 6-to-10-year-olds. Designed to alert youngsters to citizenship rights and responsibilities and to provide opportunities to practice citizenship skills, the program succeeds because it promotes civic participation and democratic values while enhancing academic and critical thinking skills.
