A Turn Down the Harbor With At-Risk Children.
Meyer, William
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n4 p312-16 Dec 1997
Describes the Senior Project, a program at California State University, Fresno, designed to help children at risk of school failure. The project stresses one-on-one mentoring of at-risk, limited-English-speaking children by Liberal Studies/teacher preparation majors. Plans for most sessions feature reading and writing activities, simple science experiments, and nutritious snacks. The children come to see books as magical windows into new worlds. (MLH)
