Devonshire Mall Celebrates Literacy Day: Jan. 27!

We Know You Love to Curl up with a Good Book
Devonshire Mall Celebrates Literacy Day

Research shows that children have a better chance of becoming fully literate adults if reading is encouraged in the home and this year, Literacy Day will focus especially on young readers in a themed event at Devonshire Mall on Friday, January 27^th 2012 at Centre Court.

“Passport to Learning”, this year’s theme, will be hosted by the Windsor-Essex County District School Board, the Windsor-Essex County Catholic School Board, St. Mary’s Family Centre, and the Windsor Public Library as well as volunteers from St. Clair College’s ECE Program. 

There will be activities throughout the day including guest readers (in different languages!), give-a-ways, and door prizes. There will also be a raffle with five $10 gift cards.

Reading to children more than once a day has a substantial positive impact on their future academic skills. In addition, research indicates children with early exposure to books are better at performing mathematical tasks. Local Windsorites will not want to miss this fun and educational event.
