Join us on National Family Literacy Day and learn how reading together can help create a closer bond with your family!
Get ready to celebrate and support literacy in your family on National Family Literacy Day on November 1! This day was created in 1994 to recognize the importance of families reading together, as well as encouraging children from an early age to develop a love for books. Reading is such a valuable skill that can open up so many doors later in life, so don't miss out on this opportunity!
Choose a book, or several, and have each family member read a portion of it out loud. Take turns reading pages, chapters, or even paragraphs to create a fun and interactive experience.
Take a trip to your local library and browse the bookshelves together. Let everyone pick out a few books to take home and read, or find a place in the library to sit down and read together.
Encourage each family member to write their own story. Brainstorm ideas, create characters, and craft plots together as a family. Once finished, share stories with one another for an entertaining evening.
Word games can be both educational and fun for the whole family. Try playing Scrabble, Boggle, or Word Search to help build vocabulary skills while having a good time.
Look up your local libraries or bookstores for any special events related to literacy being held on National Family Literacy Day. These events can include readings by authors, play readings, educational seminars, and more!
Reading is an important skill that can benefit people throughout their lives. Celebrating National Family Literacy Day encourages parents and children to develop a love for books and literature, igniting a passion for learning in young minds that will last far beyond their schooling years.
What better way to spend quality time with your loved ones than by snuggling up together to read a good book? Celebrating National Family Literacy Day helps promote bonding between parents and children and creates special memories they can cherish forever. Plus, it's an easy and fun way to teach little ones important lessons about the world!
Providing access to books and literacy resources is critical for helping ensure that all members of society have equal opportunities. National Family Literacy Day raises awareness of the importance of literacy in all communities, regardless of income or background, and works towards closing educational gaps across America.
