Family Literacy focuses on parents, grandparents and other family members to improve the reading and writing skills of the whole family. By reading to children and engaging in fun literacy activities regularly, adults actively keep their own skills sharp while helping children improve their skills. Without adult support and a strong foundation at home, a child is less likely to be successful and engaged in school.

Regina Region Family Literacy Hub efforts will focus on the geographic regions of Regina, Pilot Butte, Imperial, Lipton, Indian Head, Vibank, Southey and Francis in the following areas:

• raise awareness of the importance of early literacy
• increase access to resources and information
• build capacity for service providers and early years practitioners
