Citizenship Writing and Reading portion

[ATXmaster 0]

Friends,

 

My wife is doing her US Citizenship pretty soon, our attorney is supposed to be mailing in her paperwork any day now.
We have been studying the 100 questions, and she can answer 98% of them correctly on the first try, so no worries there.

She is still learning the English language and can answer basic questions. My question for you guys, are there any tools or websites to help with the reading and writing portion?
I know the USCIS brochure has a list of "words" that can be used for the Reading and Writing, but are there any list of examples that we can try to work on?

Have you tried your local public library for citizenship classes? Usually they also offer ESL lessons as well relating to citizenship.

The cheapest and quickest option is to have her read out loud sentences from the 100 question booklet while you listen. And have her write down sentences from the same book that you read to her. The reading and writing test does not go beyond that and is a simple as reading a question (not necessarily from the 100, but something you can find it the booklet) from an tablet and writing the answer on the same tablet.

You have nearly a year before an interview.

I was fluent without an accent in  year. She can do it with your help.

The reading and writing test is really easy, it is literally reading out one sentence, and writing another (that the IO dictates). Usually short civics related sentences. No worries if spelling wrong etc. If she can read and write any English (as I assume she can given how much of the test she has learnt), she should be totally fine on that part. The main part of the English test is the spoken part, which is the actual interview itself.
