This is Literacy

There is more to literacy than reading and writing. Our Child and Youth Network is helping families make literacy a way of life to brighten their futures.

Raising happy, confident, resourceful kids is a big job. Today’s generation of parents is the first to deal with things our parents never dreamt of, including how to manage screen time. Learn how #2000Words can help: https://t.co/t7uDVxHONT #ldnont

Engaging healthcare providers in sharing literacy is the key to reaching all families. We've been watching this great initiative for years and can't wait to see what's in store for health-based literacy across the country. #2000words #familyliteracy

Dr. Paul and Louise Frydrych promote reading to young children and give out books using @reachoutandread program at Toronto's Mt. Dennis Weston Health Centre. Excited to help expand health-based literacy in Canada! @CanLiteracy

Merci, @juliadeans! ❤️❤️❤️

Une vidéo incontournable pour tous ceux qui ont des bébés! Évitez les écrans. Lire, chanter et parler aux bébés afin qu'ils développent les cerveaux & les compétences dont ils ont besoin pour la vie. Bravo @literacyFTW & @DrJeanforkids! @CanLiteracy https://t.co/z5rUEMt84F

[This is Literacy @literacyFTW]

Thank you, @juliadeans! We are thrilled with it and excited to have it shares far and wide. #ldnont #2000words

[Julia Deans @juliadeans]

A must-watch video for anyone with a baby! Scrap screens. Read, sing & talk to babies face to face, in any/all languages so they develop the brains and communications skills they'll need for life. Kudos @literacyFTW & @DrJeanforkids! @CanLiteracy https://t.co/EYdMXLxgbX

[This is Literacy @literacyFTW]

This is how to make Literacy a way of life! What if every retail owner had spaces for families to read and sing and play while they shopped?

We knew it! The number of quality, positive words a child hears in an hour dramatically impacts their future success. https://t.co/t7uDVxHONT #2000words #LdnOnt https://t.co/m3GZCWVIFO

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

A reminder as we go into the second month of the school year. Let's refame this:
❌ "The child is being willful or defiant."
To:
✅ "They are experiencing too many stressors."

And remember: See a child differently, see a different child. #SelfReg

Did you know that research indicates that the number of quality, positive words a child hears in an hour can dramatically impact their future success?
