Family Literacy
What is Family Literacy?
Family literacy focuses on parents as a means to improve children’s literacy skills from a young age. Parents model literacy as an important skill needed to take part in society. These programs can increase adult literacy when literacy instruction for adults is incorporated into programs as well. Adults can also learn how to support their children’s learning.
5 times
Children spend five times as much time outside the classroom as they do in school, so parents and caregivers play a vital role in their learning. (ABC Life Literacy)
10 points
Children whose parents are involved with them in family literacy activities score 10 points higher on standardized reading tests. (ABC Life Literacy)
$50,000
One year of parental education has a bigger positive impact on whether a son or daughter will attend a post-secondary institution than an extra $50,000 in parental income. (ABC Life Literacy)
The Impact of Family Literacy
Family Literacy Statistics

Life literacy is the willingness and ability to keep learning at all stages of your life. It represents the skills you need to live fully, as well as all the skills you could acquire over your lifetime. Imagine what you could accomplish if you could do something new every day.
