Family Literacy Week – January 20-27th, 2019

“Family literacy refers to the way parents, children, and extended family members use literacy at home and in the community. Family literacy occurs naturally during the routines of daily living and helps children and adults get things done.” Decoda

Literacy is especially important when it comes to children and families. When families learn together, they build good habits around literacy and learning, share ideas, build strong family connections, develop independent thinking and gain confidence.  Decoda

On the South Island there will be a variety of ways you can celebrate Family Literacy Week this January.  The Greater Victoria Public Library has a variety of activities.
