It’s official! The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed Family Literacy Day in Saskatchewan and, for the first time, Family Literacy Week in Saskatchewan. Download the proclamations for Family Literacy Day and Family Literacy Week to use at your own event!
Since ABC Life Literacy Canada started Family Literacy Day in 1999, we have worked together to raises awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Every year, we celebrate Family Literacy Day in Saskatchewan. This is our first year for Family Literacy Week in Saskatchewan!
What is family literacy? Visit our family literacy resource page for more information!
This year’s theme for Family Literacy Day – “Take 20 in 2020” – encourages families to take 20 minutes each day to make learning together a part of their daily routine. Celebrations and events are planned all around the province – check out the Saskatchewan Literacy Network website to see more of what the Family Literacy Hubs are doing and how you can be involved.
Register your Family Literacy Day event: Take a few minutes and register your family literacy event with ABC Life Literacy Canada.
