Welcome to the staff homepage of the Intergenerational Literacy Project (ILP). The ILP began offering literacy instruction to parents in 1989. The program was developed in collaboration with 17 community organizations, and is guided by a Board of Collaborators representing participating parents, the Chelsea Public Schools, Boston University, and community organizations. The program seeks to accomplish the general goal of supporting families in working with their children, both to attain the instructional objectives of the schools and to reinforce positive attitudes toward education. To accomplish the larger goal, two sub-goals and objectives have been outlined: to improve the literacy skills of participating adults and to improve literacy knowledge among pre-school and school-aged children.
