Family Literacy Day has finally arrived and events to encourage families to read, write and learn together are taking place throughout the country. We hope you’ve tuned in to OLC’s suggestions on this blog, Facebook and Twitter for how you and your family can encourage literacy and essential skills in your home not only today, but in the days and years to come.
To mark Family Literacy Day, the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development rightly noted that improving literacy skills is essential to building stronger futures for Canadian families and strengthening our communities.
We hope you are able to make it out to a Family Literacy Day today or, if not, it inspired you to consider ways to better integrate learning in your family’s everyday activites. Remember: Parents are children’s first teachers. Learning begins in the home.
