Every year, on January 27th, families and Honda Dealers from across Canada celebrate Family Literacy Day® (FLD). They take part in literacy-themed events, including book drives, raffles and read-a-thons, coordinated by local literacy organizations, schools and libraries.
As the founding sponsor of FLD, Honda Canada supports ABC CANADA Literacy Foundation to help build momentum both on a national level and within local communities.This initiative encourages parents to read with their children as a means of building knowledge for future success. FLD's Honorary Chair, renowned Canadian children's author Robert Munsch, also helps spread the word on the importance of reading by making several appearances at literacy events throughout the month of January. Honda helps by sponsoring literacy TV commercials throughout the month of January to raise awareness about the importance of literacy.
We encourage you to set aside 15 minutes of family-time each day to read, with your children, and help them become good readers and learners. Visit www.abc-canada.org/fld for more information about Family Literacy Day®.
