Family Engagement and National Family Literacy Month

October is Family Engagement Month and November is National Family Literacy Month! The Alabama Reading Initiative (ARI) is excited to share two family resource videos highlighting how everyday moments can become meaningful opportunities to build children's language and literacy skills.  Family Video Resources: 

🛒 Grocery Store Conversations: ARI Literacy FRESH for Family and Community Empowerment - YouTube 

🚗 Conversations in the Car: ARI Conversational Turns to Promote Oral Language Development - YouTube 

Supporting your child's language and literacy development doesn't require extra time or special materials. Everyday routines provide meaningful opportunities to build vocabulary, encourage thinking, and strengthen family connections. 

Small moments can lead to BIG conversations! 

Thank you for your continued commitment to strengthening family engagement and supporting literacy development beyond the classroom. 

Happy Family Engagement Month!
