About This Book

A civics reader for young children presents a program of early citizenship training that emphasizes habit formation in civic virtues—obedience, cleanliness, orderliness, courtesy, helpfulness, punctuality, truthfulness, care of property, fair play, honesty, respect, courage, self-control, perseverance, thrift, kindness to animals, and safety—and uses stories, poems, songs, games, and dramatization to teach them. It moves from home relations to community and public services, illustrating how local tradespeople and public workers embody cooperative interdependence, and offers lesson questions, suggested activities, and an outline aligned with the child's widening circles of experience to help teachers turn examples into practical civic habits.
