Family Literacy Day 2016 - a day of celebration!

Last month, several of our partner organisations joined us in celebration of Family Literacy Day – a day of national awareness created by ABC Life Literacy Canada to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

It was a memorable day throughout Quebec, and we are pleased to share some of the highlights brought to us by our partners!

Read this article below in The Sherbrooke Record about the activities from Yamaska Literacy Council and Literacy in Action!

Literacy Unlimited celebrated Family Literacy Day at the Pointe-Claire Library on Sunday, January 24th. Children received modelling clay to style their own literary creations after Barbara Reid's (this year’s Honourary Chair), and parents left with plenty of new ideas on how to foster literacy for all members of the family. Thank you to Jacynthe Blanchet and the team at the Pointe-Claire Library for their support in planning this event! In the Literacy Unlimited office, volunteers and adult learners enjoyed a display of family literacy activities, including books, games, and ideas from ABC Life Literacy Canada.

Family Literacy Day is held each year on January 27! Read more and learn about ways you can celebrate!

Did you know: Research shows that young children who are exposed to a lot of language through books and conversation tend to do better in school. Speaking, reading aloud and even singing to your children all stimulate their understanding and use of language!
