Family Literacy Day takes place every January 27.

It is a good reminder of how important literacy is to our families. Reading to your child and reading together creates special bonding time between parents and children. It's an opportunity to share experiences, emotions, and thoughts, fostering a stronger connection. 

Stories stimulate a child's brain and help develop cognitive abilities. It encourages critical thinking, imagination, and problem-solving skills. Stories often contain characters facing various emotions and challenges. Discussing these elements with your child can help them understand and manage their own emotions and develop empathy for others.  

Reading and listening to stories fosters a love of learning and exploration.
