Indigenous Literacy Day

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation is celebrating Indigenous Literacy Day on Wednesday 2 September. 

Their programs focus on instilling a love of reading from an early age . . .

'Being able to read opens so many doors. But in very remote Indigenous communities, books are all too scarce and literacy levels are so much lower than anywhere else in Australia. Our purpose is to make a difference to the lives of Indigenous families by not only gifting thousands of new culturally appropriate books – with a focus on early literacy and first language - but also by running programs to inspire the communities to tell and publish their own stories.'
