Many primary and intermediary teachers often ask YLI for suggestions regarding civics materials appropriate for their students. See How They Run by Susan Goodman and published by Bloomsbury Children's Books is the perfect supplement to YLI activities and to your civics program.

Written in an easily read format that will be appealing to students, See How They Run provides concise and accurate information about the workings of American democracy. Informational passages are accompanied by interesting anecdotes and thought-provoking illustrations. Topics covered in the book include the history of democracy, campaigns and elections, the presidency and civic responsibility. See How They Run is a great tool for preparing your elementary and middle school students to participate in the YLI Mock Election.

Although targeted for grades 3-7 this resource would be useful as a supplemental reading for both younger and older students depending upon reading ability. See How They Run is also useful for busy educators who need a quick brush-up on the election process. Feel confident in providing your students the tools and information they need to be fully engaged citizens by adding See How They Run to your classroom repertoire.

Ask your librarian or media specialist to include See How They Run on the list of resources to be ordered for the fall. For more information about the book or to receive purchase and ordering information please visit www.bloomsburyusa.com.
