The document describes a study that evaluated how young children's perceptions of older adults changed after participating in an intergenerational reading program called Project BIGG. In the program, older adult volunteers read books and told stories to 3-4 year old children at a daycare center once a week for 6-7 weeks. The researchers interviewed the children before and after the program using pictures to gauge how their perceptions changed. They found that after participating, the children provided more detailed, related comments about the older adult volunteers compared to unfamiliar older adults, and enjoyed their personal connections with the readers.
