Family Literacy Day 2023

28 Nov What’s planned for Family Literacy Day 2023

Family Literacy Day (FLD) will once again take place on January 27, and planning is well underway. Family Literacy Day started in 1999 to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development, improving a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

This year’s Family Literacy Day theme is Celebrate your heritage. Canada is a great diverse country full of different cultures. Take time to explore and learn about your heritage. Celebrate what you’ve found and share your culture with others. There’s no better way to learn about your family, than together as a family.

Free resources available

ABC Life Literacy once again has a variety of free resources available for download at FamilyLiteracyDay.ca. Access bookmarks, activities, posters and more at the direct links below:
