Even Start is a family support program focusing on family literacy and school readiness. These first seven issues of the "Look at Even Start" newsletter cover topics such as transition between preschool and kindergarten, collaboration between programs and between parents and programs, ways Even Start programs respond to parents' needs and challenges, evaluation highlights of Even Start, educational reform, home visits, principles of effective recruitment and retention, and program curriculum. Each issue has a section containing information and program resources, and a section of questions and answers about Even Start. Issues frequently highlight the work of specific program sites or provide detailed discussion of a specific program (examples, Issues 4 and 6). Checklists relevant to the topic of the issue are frequently included. (JW)
