JANUARY 23, 2025—The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed January 27, 2025, as Family Literacy Day and January 25 to 31, 2025, as Family Literacy Week in Saskatchewan. The week provides opportunities for communities, libraries, schools and other organizations to plan events that raise awareness about the importance of family literacy. Parents with literacy skills support children to acquire literacy skills, contributing to strong families and strong communities.
For Family Literacy Day 2025, ABC Life Literacy Canada set the national theme as “Learn to be Green, Together” so they chose the book, "Fox and Bear" by Saskatchewan author and artist Miriam Körner.
There will be a free online reading and live question-and-answer time with Miriam Körner on January 27th at 10:30 a.m. (CST). Learn more about the forest, create your own characters from recycled material and ask questions in real time. People of all ages can join to explore the forest and art and our connections to them.
