CitizenReadyStorylines — learn it as a story
Facts on their own slide off the memory. Facts in a story — with a face, a place and a reason — stay. Each Storyline takes one thread of the handbook and tells it as one connected, visual story: what happened, why it happened, and what it caused next. Every storyline ends with real questions from our bank on exactly that thread, and a recall mode that hides the dates so you can test whether the story has stuck.
