This materials preparation guide is one of seven publications designed to implement the Home-Oriented Preschool Education (HOPE) program which uses televised, mobile classroom, and parent instruction to educated 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds. The materials production team which provides all the basic materials for the program is described. Materials planned and produced are: (1) televised lessons, (2) instructional guides for the mobile classroom teacher and aide, (3) suggested activities for home visitors, (4) weekly parent guides, (5) materials for children to use at home, and (6) feedback and evaluation instruments. Preparation of all materials involves selecting instructional themes, identifying and adopting objectives, and planning activities by method of presentation. General descriptions are provided for each of these processes, and more specific illustrations are included in the instructions for the production of specific materials. Appendices, which make up about half the guide, include sample quizzes, child observational code sheets, a family resource survey, a home visitor feedback information form, the master curriculum planning guide, television lesson scripts, a sample parents' guide and list of suggested readings, a list of the home visitors' kit materials, and a mobile classroom instructional guide.
