This November marks the 25th anniversary of National Family Literacy Month, a celebration of the power of families learning together. The connection between parents’ and caregivers’ educational attainment and children’s academic success is undeniable. When families learn together, they grow together. 

The National Center for Families Learning has suggestions to make National Family Literacy Month fun and exciting:

• During November, discover ways to learn and have fun as a family with 30 Days of Families Learning Together, a guide full of literacy activities and practices designed to inspire family memories rooted in imagining, playing, and learning together. (available in Spanish and English)
• There are still a few warm days in store, so relieve some stress by heading outside to read or try a reading scavenger hunt.  
• Check out Wonderopolis. This free online learning resource invites visitors to explore an questions about the world around us, or search for answers to questions they have. As a family, read through one Wonder each week and practice the accompanying activities together.
