How You and Your Family Can Celebrate Family Literacy Month

November is Family Literacy Month, and it is the perfect opportunity to create reading traditions that will last well beyond the month. The focus is simple: spend time together as a family reading, writing, and sharing stories. These activities build literacy skills while creating memories.

Here are a few meaningful ways you and your family can celebrate:

• Start a family read-aloud: Pick a chapter book and read it together each evening. Even older children enjoy listening to stories read aloud.

• Visit your local library: Let each family member choose a new book to explore. Many libraries also host Family Literacy Month events.

• Create a book swap: Trade books with friends or neighbors. It is a fun way to discover new authors and genres.

• Write together: Keep a family journal where everyone adds a story, memory, or poem each week.

• Celebrate stories in all forms: Audiobooks, graphic novels, and even storytelling nights count as part of literacy learning.

  
  

Celebrating Family Literacy Month is not about adding one more task to your to-do list. It is about building intentional moments where reading becomes part of your family’s lifestyle. Whether it is 15 minutes before bedtime or a Saturday morning library trip, these simple practices help children see reading as enjoyable and important.

By making the most of Family Literacy Month, you are showing your children that reading is a lifelong gift. And the best part? You get to experience it together.
