Literacy Day is This Month!

Reading with our kids is the most important thing we can do with them to help them learn and grow.

On January 27th, we will celebrate Literacy Day. A day dedicate to the importance and power of reading!


momstown is dedicated to enhancing and encouraging the love of readying with the kiddies through our curriculum with a strong partnership with Scholastic Canada and our monthly event Tales for Tots.

Books are a great way to teach your kids, spend time with them and enjoy them. Reading a book with a child is so rewarding in so many ways.

At home I read with my kids daily. I love the giggles as we get to funny parts, or the surprise as we get to the top of a plot, or the excitement when they relate to what the story is.



I love listening to the kids read books themselves, when they actually aren't yet reading, but making up the story based on the pictures or what they remember you reading from that book. Little minds are so creative!!!

I remember watching my oldest learn to read and recognize words, and eventually read books to me. Now, 9 years late, with my middle one in JK and showing an increased interest in learning to read, it amazes me all over again how their little minds work to figure out words.

There are a million toys and activities kids can do, but reading is the best!
