November is National Family Literacy Month, where families are encouraged to read together.

According to familieslearning.org, the website for The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL), this is something that has been going on for nearly a quarter of a century. NCFL organizes many events for this every month, including reading workshops and book give-aways.

Some of the best ways to develop family literacy are by having parents read to their children, having the early readers read aloud to their parents, and then encouraging the children to read all by themselves.

On the familieslearning.org website, people who are interested in participating can find a list full of activities, something to do each and every day of National Family Literacy Month.

Literacy can bring a family together, and by sharing time reading for pleasure, it can become a family tradition, even after the pandemic is over.
