Literacy Week

Every year on January 27, ABC Life Literacy Canada hosts Family Literacy Day, the largest national family literacy event in Canada. Literacy organizations, schools, libraries and media groups will coordinate numerous literacy-themed events and activities across the country in honour of this special initiative.

Family Literacy Day® is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. News Media Canada is a proud supporter of Family Literacy Day, distributing public service announcements and editorial resources from ABC Life Literacy Canada to our members.



All Week Activities: Admin to read to classes 
D.E.A.R. time (Drop everything and read, students and staff should be carrying a book all day, every day, you never know when it will happen!). 
Constable Mark will read with grade ½ classes.

Tuesday- Reading with other classes (will be a 15 minute block, teachers will move to a new location, check your mailbox for a schedule later this week)
