Family Literacy

Tomorrow (January 27th) is Family Literacy Day. A special day to celebrate reading, and all it's benefits, with our families.

We love to read around here, books are a huge hit with the kids and are a favorite gift to receive and to give. Reading is probably one of the most important things we can do with our children. It not only teaches them, but it's a great way to bond and share time.

While reading books is one of the most obvious ways to encourage learning and literacy with your children, playing games is also a great way to make learning and reading fun. Board games and card games can be lots of fun, and can get a child that doesn't sit still for too long to enjoy learning!


To celebrate Family Literacy Day, my kids will be playing games and reading their favorite books. Robert Munsch is always a fave around here, the silly stories always get lots of giggles and always lead for the even popular "can you read that again?"

How will you spend this special day with your kids? Enter the momstown Barrie Family Literacy Contest on our Facebook page for a chance to win a Book Prize Pack.
