Getting Involved: Basic Educational Skills Bibliography. Basic Educational Skills Project: An Annotated Bibliography in the Areas of Curriculum, Parent Involvement, Teacher Attitudes and Behaviors, and Continuity.

Consisting of references to books, chapters of books, articles, pamphlets, booklets and posters, films and filmstrips, records, audiotapes, and multi-media packages, this annotated bibliography provides access to resources for parents and Basic Educational Skills (BES) program staff in Head Start centers and elementary schools. Entries, most of which concern preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade children, are organized into four major sections corresponding to BES program divisions: curriculum, parent involvement, teacher attitudes and behavior, and program continuity. These four areas are further divided into subsections focusing on a particular issue or subject matter: nine are devoted to curriculum, six to parent involvement, seven to teacher attitudes and behavior, and four to continuity between curriculum, home, and school. References in the areas of curriculum and parent involvement are most numerous. In addition to describing the materials, entries list author's name, title of item, source, date of publication, and number of pages. When appropriate, item cost and ordering information are indicated. Graphic symbols beside each entry illustrate the format of the item described (book, article, film, and so on); materials designed for parents are designed by the letter "P." (RH)
