Family Literacy Day is an annual event celebrated on January 27th that aims to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and encourage families to read and learn together. The day was first introduced in Canada in 1999 by ABC Life Literacy Canada, a non-profit organization that strives to promote literacy among adults and families. Since then, it has become a national initiative in Canada and is celebrated by families, schools, libraries, and community organizations across the country.
By reading and learning together, families can improve their literacy skills, strengthen their relationships, and foster a love for learning that can last a lifetime.
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.
Celebrate 25 years of Family Literacy Day and learning together as a family by having a party! Make food, sing songs, and play games. The possibilities for learning are endless – and it’s fun when you do it together.
