This is a Google Slides product

The first section, Moving In, gives students the experience of setting up a household and discovering their own sense of design style. The second section, Food, covers everything from grocery shopping, meal planning, understanding and using a cookbook, to following a recipe. The Cleaning and Laundry sections prepare students for the less glamorous side of independent living with helpful tips to deal with basic chores. The Health and Safety sections are a reminder that living on your own means being responsible for you own health and well-being.

Follow-up activities include practical application math, basic comprehension questions to reinforce understanding, and practical writing exercises. Some questions ask students to think about the information given and express their opinions and ideas.

The vocabulary section includes a glossary of words students may not be familiar with. The glossary is divided up by sections allowing these unfamiliar words to be introduced before reading each section. To reinforce understanding, there are activity pages using the glossary words.
