New Literacy Kits!

Summer Burton • April 11, 2022

Literacy skills can be built at any age or stage in life - a true example of the power in the phrase "lifelong learning."


Literacy Link South Central is a proud member of the Elgin Children’s Network's Literacy Committee, supporting early literacy initiatives across the county. As part of network's recent Celebration of Literacy, we have put together Literacy Kits which will be distributed to before and after school programs across Elgin County.


Literacy has many shapes and forms and all of them are important. That's why these Kits support literacy in its many guises – reading, writing, digital, physical, financial, oral and cultural. Included in the kits are games, craft supplies, books, along with a colouring book and a guide to fun physical activities created by two TVDSB high school classes.


We send big thanks to the donors who helped fund this project:

  • St. Thomas Kinsmen 
  • St. Thomas Lions 
  • Rodney Kiwanis 
  • West Lorne Kiwanis 
  • West Lorne Optimist
  • Municipality of Dutton Dunwich

The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Writing . According to the Canadian government, writing is how we share information using written words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to fill out forms and applications, and write emails, reports and social media posts. Learn more about writing and the other Skills for Success here , and think about the writing you do on an average day, from grocery lists to reminders to homework. If you'd like to build your reading, writing, creativity, problem solving, and other Skills for Success, Ontario's adult literacy programs offer free, individualized training that can help.
