To support the Family Literacy Project, an integrated approach to improving literacy and language skills among low-income, low-literacy adults and their young children in Chicago’s Rogers Park Neighborhood. By providing adult education, early childhood education, parenting skills, and parent-and-child “together time,” the project aims to increase the capacity of parents to support their children’s development and learning while creating measurable outcomes for more than 30 families.
