From the Back Cover --

What students say:

“The Reach for College! curriculum and materials helped me get focused on the tools and techniques that I needed to prepare for and use in college!”

“I think that everything that this program has given me has helped a lot with my career goals. Reach for College! goes into college, not just talk about the outside life of college.”

“The book showed us that preparation for college is not something you can do automatically . . . it is not something you can do easily. You have to work at it. We were given tools and strategies to use: time management, SQ3R [a reading and learning technique—Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review.] And the Reach for College! class helped us dramatically improve our writing and study skills.”

“I honestly believe that the book helps us get a better understanding on how college works.”

“I like Reach for College! because it gives me more information about going to college. I like it because it helps me NOT stress about college.”

What teachers say:

“I believe that every student involved with the Reach for College! program greatly appreciates the curriculum, which provides important information about higher education and teaches necessary life skills to students who might otherwise miss these aspects of the American educational experience.”

What principals say:

“Reach for College! is an outstanding program that helps to fill the gap in the college and career curriculum in many public schools in Washington, D.C. We have partnered with a number of organizations, however, the support and encouragement that our staff and students receive from Reach for College! has been truly exceptional.”
