Teachers come to preview performances and get advance copies of scripts and other material to develop class discussions. Links to Literacy is a citywide reading project. Every time a student in a partner school reads a book, a link is added to a paper chain. Last year, over 250 Chicago schools participated in creating a chain of over 2.5 million links. The project offers free workshops to staff and parents from participating schools.
Teachers attend workshops and join book discussion groups as part of the program.
