Thank you so much to Kid Talk for sponsoring this post.
May is literacy month and we are so excited to share fun and amazing ideas to make literacy fun for you and your family!
Kid Talk is an incredible resource to help you with fun, simple and effective tools to make literacy a part of your everyday life! Please watch this video we produced at the Peterborough Public Library to talk about how easy and fun literacy can be for your family.
We have FREE bibs for you to pickup (locations are outlined below) and we want you to snap pictures of your kids wearing the bibs and show us how you incorporate literacy into your family’s routine!
Do you read cereal boxes?
Read street signs?
Colour?
Draw?
Sing?
Dance?
Literacy is so much more than just reading a book and we want you to share your ideas with us, for a chance to WIN an amazing GIVEAWAY!
Rebekah Littlejohn is an incredible photographer who specializes in family photography and she is offering an outdoor session (valued at $125) and a $275 print credit that can be used for prints or canvas!
