📌 Why Literacy Night Matters

A meaningful Family Literacy Night gives caregivers:
• Practical strategies they can use with ANY book
• A better understanding of how children grow as readers
• Tools they can take home and use right away

When families are empowered, readers grow — and your planning becomes more purposeful.

📝 Your Simple Planning Checklist

1️⃣ Build a Planning Committee

Gather a small group to brainstorm strategies, take‑home tools, and materials.

2️⃣ Decide the When, Where & How

Choose your date, time, theme, and layout at least a month in advance.

3️⃣ Spread the Word Early

Use invitations, social media, marquee signs, newsletters, and classroom announcements.
Teacher involvement = higher attendance!

4️⃣ Keep the Focus on Literacy

Stick to strategy‑based stations — not carnivals, dances, or activities that distract from reading.

5️⃣ Share Easy, At‑Home Strategies

Give families simple tools they can use immediately with any text.

6️⃣ Choose Tools That Last

Avoid “one‑time” activities. Provide resources families can reuse again and again.

7️⃣ Include ALL Teachers

Literacy impacts every subject — make it a whole‑staff effort and offer small incentives.

8️⃣ Prep Ahead of Time

Assemble materials, station signs, and supply baskets the week before the event.

9️⃣ Set Up the Space

Use your committee + volunteers to lay out stations the afternoon of the event.
