A Title I/ESEA project designed and conducted to meet the needs of educationally deprived children (K-12) in Wichita, Kansas, is described and evaluated. The major focus of the project was on improvements in reading, but additional objectives included improving the children's verbal functions, self-image, attitude toward school and education, daily attendance, physical and nutritional health, and social and emotional stability. Included for each activity are objectives, procedures, evaluation strategy, data presentation, and comments about the results. Examples of nonstandardized data-gathering instruments and a test of musical discrimination are included in the appendix. (RT)
