‘Family Literacy focuses on the parent as a child’s best teacher and a means to improve the reading and writing skills of all family members. Through reading to and engaging children in fun literacy activities, parents also sharpen their skills and strengthen the parent and child relationship. This also reinforces the importance of learning with children while building the necessary skills children need for the future while maintaining the parent’s literacy skills.” Family Literacy Day is held annually on January 27. It was developed by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 to celebrate adults and children reading and learning together, and to encourage Canadian families to spend at least 15 minutes a day enjoying a learning activity together.
