National Family Literacy Month

When parents and children both work on literacy skills, everyone wins—the parent, the child, and the community. Such approaches are sometimes called two-generation approaches and reflect the symbiotic relationships that naturally occur within families.

In 1994, political and educational leaders came together to designate November 1 as National Family Literacy Day. Now the month of November is recognized as National Family Literacy Month!
