Family Literacy Week is celebrated every year to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. The Family Literacy Week theme for 2026 is: Make Mealtime Family Learning Time.

Preparing for mealtime is a fun (and tasty) way for families to learn together. Whether it's following recipes, making shopping lists, or sharing stories at the dinner table, make your mealtime family learning time.

Celebrate Family Literacy Week with board books, picture books, fiction, and nonfiction for children of all ages.
