The Centre for Family Literacy is dedicated to helping families grow and prosper. Our programs, training and research help Alberta families achieve what they imagine — improved education, jobs and health.
"Learning happens everywhere, which makes it easy to include learning activities as a part of your daily life. Once you realize how the things you do on a daily basis already involve learning, it's easy to make everyday activities learning opportunities.
"Encouraging parents to take time every day to read or do a learning activity with their children is crucial to a child's development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child's literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.
"There are many ways to Take the Learning Journey on Family Literacy Day. Whether you're an adult literacy practitioner, schoolteacher, librarian or parent, you can download the Journey to Learning Passport or incorporate a passport-themed activity at your Family Literacy Day event."

Volunteers are the backbone of our organization and without their commitment, support and hard work, so many of our initiatives would not be possible.
