Happy New Year from Fisher Hill!
Happy New Year from Fisher Hill! 150 150 hill-fisher

We here at Fisher Hill want to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year for 2021!

A good New Year’s Resolution would be: to become a U.S. citizen!

Fisher Hill has an excellent series of two easy to use workbooks to help Spanish speakers pass the English writing, reading and civics portions of the U.S. Citizenship Exam.

U.S. Citizenship for the Spanish Speaker Book 1 https://fisher-hill.com/product/u-s-citizenship-for-the-spanish-speaker-book-1/ gives Spanish speakers information to help pass the American Government questions on the Civics test. Book 1 also provides practice to help pass the reading and writing tests. U.S. Citizenship for the Spanish Speaker Book 2 https://fisher-hill.com/product/u-s-citizenship-for-the-spanish-speaker-book-2/ gives Spanish speakers information and practice to help pass the American History and Integrated Civics questions on the Civics test. Book 2 also provides practice to help pass the reading and writing tests.

To pass these three sections, the applicant must be able to write correctly one sentence dictated by the interviewer; read out loud correctly one sentence given by the interviewer; and answer six out of ten of the civics questions given by the interviewer.  He/she will have three opportunities to write correctly a dictated sentence and three opportunities to read out loud correctly a sentence given by the interviewer.

The Civics Test includes 100 questions about government, history and integrated civics.  Applicants will be asked 10 questions.  The Civics test is an oral test.    One or more of the 10 civics questions may be about the current people holding different government offices.  Applicants will need to know the names of these people holding the current government offices.

Adults like our workbooks because the pace is reasonable, print is large, and the directions are in Spanish. Teachers like our books because everything is ready to go!  There’s an answer key and an English translation of the Spanish directions at the end of each book.

A Lesson about Voting
A Lesson about Voting 150 150 hill-fisher

More people voted in the 2020 election than ever before!  I wore my Voted sticker that day.  In Fisher Hill’s English Reading Comprehension for the Spanish Speaker Book 6 there is a story about voting.  There are six workbooks in the series and each workbook has twenty stories.  The story  and comprehension questions about voting are below.

Voting

Do you vote?  Do you vote in the local, state and national elections?  Are you registered to vote?  Before you can vote, you need to be registered to vote.  You will need to fill out a registration form.  These forms can be found at your local public library, department of motor vehicles (DMV), schools, or on line.  After you fill out the form, mail it to the address located on the form.  Most states require that you register thirty days before you plan to vote.  There are seven states that allow you to register on the day that you vote.  These states are: Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. In these states, voters can register when they arrive at the polls.  Five of these seven states rank highest in the nation in voter turnout.

You need to be eighteen years or older in order to vote and a citizen of the United States of America.  Some states do not allow convicted felons to vote. If you’re a college student living away from home, you may register to vote in the college’s city, even if that is not your permanent address.

When registering to vote, you may declare an affiliation with a political party.  The two most popular political parties in the United States are the Democrat and Republican parties. In partisan elections, such as primary elections, this allows voters who are members of a particular party to determine which of the party’s candidates will be the party’s nominee in the general election. In several states, elections are nonpartisan and voters may vote in any one of the party primaries. In these nonpartisan elections, a voter requests a particular party’s ballot when checking in at the polling place.

In general elections, you may choose to vote for all of a particular party’s candidates (straight-ticket voting) or to vote for candidates from different parties for different offices.  For example, you may vote for the Democrat candidate for President, the Republican candidate for Senator, and the Independent Party candidate for Governor.  In a general election, one’s political party affiliation does not determine which party’s candidates one may vote for.

Where do you go to vote?  You go to the polling place.  The polling place will be near your home in a community center, school, or even in a neighbor’s garage.  Several weeks before the election, you will receive a sample ballot in the mail which will have the location of the polling place where you can go to vote.

Register to vote! Tell your friends and relatives to register so everyone can vote and be part of the democratic process.
