Family Literacy Day - January 27

January 27, 2011, is Family Literacy Day in Canada. This special day promotes the value of families reading and learning together.   Parents and family members are a child’s earliest and most important teachers. Family literacy can mean reading a bedtime story, telling stories, playing word games, singing songs, writing letters, notes and shopping lists and Reading interesting blogs or Internet news sites.

At LKS this year, Storyteller Cheryl Thorton will be visiting on January 27.  She is a wonderful storyteller and this is a fantastic opportunity for LKS.


Happy Family Literacy Day & Happy Reading!
