On this week’s episode, we discuss ways to develop and support
Family Literacy!  As we start to update our Family Literacy Toolkit, we explore programs and activities that use stories, songs, movement, art, cooking, and more!
​

Gabrielle Thomas from LQ talks about her experience with early-childhood learning through song and movement. The Mother Goose program is offered at many community centres, libraries and literacy groups across Quebec. Mother Goose Program Coordinator at the Montreal Children's Library, Desrean Macfarlane and Gabrielle  teach us some songs!

We also get to hear from Norma, a children's book illustrator from Cara Carmina about her art and the alphabet cards she has created for parents and children to learn together.  Learn about the age of the "wowers"! You can check out Norma's beautiful alphabet prints and workshops from her website.  

Joanna from Literacy in Action talks about using a community-based approach to support family literacy.  We hear about the ongoing Arts and Scraps and Books to Belly programs in the Estrie Region of Quebec. 

The episode ends with upcoming member events from across Quebec. We are still looking for donations, runners, and volunteers for the charity run in Montreal on April 27th! Contact Chris at admin@literacyquebec.org and donate by clicking here
