Reauthorization of the Follow Through Program. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Education and Labor. House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, Second Session.
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Education and Labor.
The reauthorization of the Follow Through Program (FT), a program designed to reinforce gains made by low income children in preschool, is the subject of this hearing report. Testimony includes a rationale for reauthorizing the program; information and comments concerning the accomplishments and future prospects of FT; a brief historical description of the Flint, Michigan schools' involvement with FT; a refutation of the argument that FT duplicates the efforts of Chapter 1; and comments of parents and children involved in the FT program. In addition to prepared statements and newspaper and magazine articles, supplementary materials placed in the record include: (1) a copy of front matter from a book which describes the FT program and five FT models, and examines the impact of the program; (2) an article which discusses the role of psychologists in the national FT project; and (3) a pamphlet entitled, "Follow Through: Benefiting Millions of Children."
