Why is family literacy important?

If you foster the love of learning from the start, it becomes a natural habit and learning becomes part of life. Encouraging curiosity from birth, it also ensures healthy brain development and promotes a strong bond with parents.

5 Good Reasons to join one of our family literacy programs:

1. Babies learn language skills through copying sounds and recognizing pictures
2. Attention, listening, memory and vocabulary skills are learned through reading together
3. Cuddling while reading helps your child feel safe and connected
4. Rhyming, making funny sounds, using movement and laughter teaches kids that learning is fun
5. Reading physical books keeps kids off screens
