This resource is primarily targeted at immigrants hoping to become U.S. citizens. However, it can also serve as a patriotic resource for elementary school-aged children to freshmen in high school. Teachers of social studies and civics programs may want to have a copy handy to use in classrooms. It is highly recommended that this resource should be available to students in K12 school libraries within the United States of America.
