Today marks Family Literacy Day across Canada and there are lots of events taking place to celebrate. In the Toronto region children’s author Robert Munsch kicked off the day on CBC’s Metro Morning radio show, who is also serving as the Honourary Chair of Family Literacy Day this year. ABC Canada makes it easy to find an event near you and the National Centre for Family Literacy has a wealth of information available year-round.
There are lots of good reasons to read with children, including increased performance in school and quality family time. I know that I read a lot as a child and to this day I still love reading. Below are some videos featuring my wife’s favourite children’s author (and maybe yours too), Robert Munsch.
