COLUMBUS, Ohio-November 1 marks the start of National Family Literacy Month, aimed at promoting reading and learning within families. This initiative began in the early 1990s in response to concerns about low literacy skills among American workers, with Congress partnering with the National Center for Families Learning to establish the month. Columbus City Schools (CCS) emphasizes the importance of literacy in student development and believes that collaboration among district leaders, teachers, and families is vital for supporting student growth. CCS provides resources to enhance learning at home and in classrooms. Families are encouraged to participate in reading activities throughout November, using resources like the #TogetherWeRead book bundles or local library selections.
