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