One Family at a Time.
McGee, Karen A.
Educational Leadership, v53 n7 p30-33 Apr 1996
Poised to help legally homeless parents become their children's best teachers, instructors in a Nevada literacy program found that human relationships took precedence over academics. Instructors learned the importance of renaming the program (to avoid association with prior academic failure) and blending literacy activities with hot meals, family fun, and friendly conversation.
