January 27 is Family Literacy Day. This year’s theme is Make Mealtime Family Learning Time. Talking, listening, sharing stories, following recipes, and making shopping lists are simple (and tasty!) ways families can build literacy together.

Mealtime literacy is not about formal lessons. It includes everyday activities such as:

🙂Talking about the day
🫶Sharing stories and experiences
🍏Following recipes or reading food packaging
🍇Making shopping lists
🙋Asking questions and taking turns in conversation
⭐️Even small moments at the table help build language, confidence, and connection for children and caregivers alike.
