The Florida Department of Education has announced that January 27-31, 2020 will be Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! This year\u2019s theme is BOOK Your Trip: Adventure Awaits, to show how literacy can take readers on adventures of all types.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Celebrate Literacy Week is a yearly initiative from the FLDOE to encourage children to read<\/a>, as well as for parents to read to their children. To that end, they have <\/span>Literacy Tips for Parents<\/span><\/a> up on their website, geared towards starting children on the road to reading, starting at home.<\/span><\/p>\n Many adult learners are motivated to learn to improve their skills in order to set an example for their children, as well as get more involved in their academics. As a result, adult literacy educators can gear their lessons leading up to Celebrate Literacy Week towards helping their students learn to read to their children. Encouraging adult learners to read with their children or grandchildren can be helpful for both of them, and provide further motivation for adult learners from seeing the fruits of their labor. Literacy starts at home, with both parent and child.<\/span><\/p>\n Scholastic.com<\/span><\/a> has information on the components of teaching reading, as well as lesson plans and activities towards the end of the article, and ways for parents and children to improve reading skills.<\/span><\/p>\n San Diego Continuing Education<\/span><\/a> has activities and worksheets of situations that parents might find themselves in while helping their school age child.<\/span><\/p>\n Minnesota Literacy Council<\/span><\/a> has videos and lesson plans for ESL and ABE classes of various levels.
