ABC Life Literacy Canada

(Toronto, ON - October 25, 2011) - Canadians can now Take the Learning Journey as part of Family Literacy Day^® 2012 by downloading the Journey to Learning Passport. Families are encouraged to complete at least five activities in the weeks leading up to Family Literacy Day on January 27, 2012 to see how easy learning can be.

Learning happens everywhere, which makes it easy to include learning activities as a part of your daily life. Once you realize how the things you do on a daily basis already involve learning, it’s easy to make everyday activities learning opportunities.

Encouraging parents to take time every day to read or do a learning activity with their children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

There are many ways to Take the Learning Journey on Family Literacy Day. Whether you’re an adult literacy practitioner, schoolteacher, librarian or parent, you can download the Journey to Learning Passport or incorporate a passport-themed activity at your Family Literacy Day event. For ideas, download our Journey to Learning toolkit or visit www.FamilyLiteracyDay.ca.

Don’t forget to register your passport once it’s completed – tell us which activities your family or group completed, and you could win a Family Literacy Day prize pack. Register your passport at www.FamilyLiteracyDay.ca.
