National Family Literacy Month is celebrated during the month of November. It is an opportunity for families to learn and read together. As part of Dr. Gomez’s Literacy by 5th Grade Initiative, the Riverside County Office of Education provides resources and support for parents and educators throughout Riverside County and beyond. The Instructional Services Unit and Early Education Programs Unit have put together a group of resources for this important month.
