Winnipeg, Manitoba - February is designated I Love to Read month all across North America. This internationally-celebrated month is the perfect time to promote early childhood interest in reading and highlight the importance of literacy skills throughout life.
“This special month is an excellent time to teach our kids the value of reading, the importance it plays in our day-to-day lives and the importance of reading with their parents, grandparents and siblings,” said Shelly Glover, Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface and Parliamentary Secretary for Official Languages.
Literacy levels affect individuals, families and communities around the world. Preparing youth for a successful future in the job market is key in today’s society. Literacy is one of the best ways we can support our young people.
As the Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface, Shelly Glover is very excited to participate in I love to Read Month in many schools in her riding. “I’m honoured to have the opportunity to read to students at the schools in my riding and speak with them first-hand about the importance of reading now and throughout their lives.”
