Family Literacy Day - Jan. 27

Today is Family Literacy Day - a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of 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. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

For more information, go to: http://abclifeliteracy.ca/fld/family-literacy-day
