A project was conducted in Texas using an intergenerational approach to literacy instruction. Parents received individualized literacy instruction using the Language Experience Approach, as well as instruction designed to help them encourage literacy skill development in their children. Children and parents also worked together on literacy activities with parents as teachers. This handbook describes steps taken to develop, implement, and evaluate this project, along with anecdotal comments about the project in action. Topics covered include literacy education action, intergenerational literacy model project design, student recruitment, project implementation, limited English proficiency speakers, and results. Extensive appendixes contain the project documents, including reviews of literature; core curriculum for preschoolers, toddlers, and infants; evaluation narrative; case study summary sample; sample graphic information of evaluation observations; sample evaluation forms; teaching tips; news for parents; books organized according to themes; resources for teachers of young children; and definitions.
