Family Literacy Day is held every January 27th to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Since 1999, schools, libraries, literacy organizations, and other community groups nationwide have participated in the initiative.
The Family Literacy Day 2025 theme is Learn to be Green, Together! Make a pledge as a family to learn ways to be more green. Use less electricity, commute together, and reuse items. Being green together is a fun way to learn as a family while being kind to the environment.
