November is National Family Literacy Month!

Posted on November 12th, 2024

Family Literacy Month is a great opportunity for families to come together and celebrate the importance of reading and learning together.

Reading with your family has many benefits, not just for children, but for parents as well. It’s a great way to improve communication skills, strengthen family bonds, and foster a love of learning. Try reading a book together, taking a family trip to the library, or even writing a story together. You could start a family book club or make reading a part of your regular bedtime routine.

Reading to babies and young children is crucial for their development. Not only does it promote language and cognitive skills, but it also helps to develop their imagination and creativity. Even before they can talk or understand words, babies benefit from hearing their parents’ voices and being exposed to new sounds and rhythms. As children grow, reading to them can help increase their vocabulary and comprehension skills, as well as improve their attention span and overall academic performance.
