ENCOURAGING FAMILIES IN THE ALBERNI VALLEY TO READ TOGETHER
Just 15 minutes a day On January 27, 2014, Family Literacy Day will celebrate 16 years of learning together. This year, ABC Life Literacy Canada is encouraging families to take 15 minutes a day to learn together. Here are some great ways for families to get started: • Write a joke book with your family. • Read a bedtime story to the grown-up putting you to bed. • Make up a new recipe together and post it online. • Tell knock-knock jokes together while doing the dishes. • Organize a book swap at your school. • Make up riddles and tell them to your friends. • Create a family book club. • Build a drum with your family. • Surf the Internet and learn about your favourite animal. • Make up a song about your day to sing to your family at dinnertime. • Write messages to your family on sticky notes and post them around the house. • Create a story about what you’ll be doing for Family Literacy Day. • Play a board game together. • Build an acrostic poem using your hero’s name. • Make an origami boat and see if it will float. For more great ways to have 15 Minutes of Fun together, visit www.FamilyLiteracyDay.ca
