Literacy Calendar

May

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! Celebrate family traditions and the rich diversity of Asian and Pacific Americans with books, activities, and a variety of resources from our sister site, Colorin Colorado. Children's Book Week, May 13-19, is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Set aside some time to share the joy of reading with a young person in your life.

Browse the monthly literacy events in the sidebar on the right to find inspiring ways to celebrate reading with kids! Have a national literacy event that you'd like to share? Please contact us with the event information and we'll add it to the calendar.
