Let's Talk About Family Literacy This June

Family literacy is learning that involves children and their family members. It helps to develop reading, writing, and communication skills. It matters because when families actively support literacy at home, children are more likely to succeed in school and develop a lifelong love of learning. Strong family literacy also strengthens relationships and empowers parents or caregivers to play a confident role in their child’s education.

The family literacy calendar for June is now available. Each day of the month, you can click on a new item to explore information, resources, and simple tips to support family literacy. The calendar highlights how families, parents, carers, and communities can create family learning spaces to support literacy, and each daily item is free to view and use!
