Objective
To raise awareness of the importance of literacy and present literacy-based educational tools to support and extend student learning at home.

Rationale
Wherever you go, whether it is down to the corner store for a carton of milk or out to your favourite restaurant for a bite to eat, numbers and letters surround you. Being able to identify this nomenclature can be daunting if you lack the literacy skills to decode them. That is why it is so vital to establish and maintain these skills as they allow us to function within society.

Overview of Event
Through the use of read alouds encompassing a pleura of literary genres, hands-on literacy activities, and showcasing literature-based technological innovations, we hope to demonstrate to parents and students that there are numerous options available in terms of support, teaching tools, and reading topics.
