Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is important. Children learn and develop through fun family activities that include reading and learning.
For the entire month of January, families in BC are encouraged to learn together.
Dress up like your favourite characters.

Read the PDF and do the exercise
Learn about the importance of reading and doing other literacy-related activities as a family. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills. Parents will improve their skills at the same time.
Communities in BC host informal learning events at community centres, schools, and libraries. Events include story-telling, face painting, belly dancing, magic shows, and displays.
