REGINA — "Make Mealtime Family Learning Time! / Faire du repas un moment d'apprentissage en famille!" is the theme of Family Literacy Week.
The week is recongized from Jan. 25 to 31, along with Family Literacy Day, Jan. 27.
This year's national theme celebrates everyday opportunities for literacy, connection and skill-building through shared food experiences. From preparing a recipe and writing a grocery list to sharing stories around the table, families across the province are invited to discover the power of learning together during mealtimes.
"Salma the Syrian Chef/ Salma et les saveurs de la Syrie" by Danny Ramadan, has been selected as the theme-aligned picture book for Family Literacy Day in Saskatchewan. The story focuses on Salma, a newcomer who tries to cheer up her mother by cooking her a heartwarming dish with the help of friends.
$1.1 million was allocated in the 2025-26 budget for literacy initiatives. This includes more than $600,000 to support family literacy programming through the 10 Family Literacy Hubs and Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan.
Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan and Family Literacy Hubs work collaboratively with early learning, schools, libraries and communities to provide family literacy programs, services and supports for families across the province.
