(January 7, 2025) – Many of Florida’s public charter schools are expected to take part in “Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida!” slated for January 27-31, 2025. Member schools of the Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools (FCPCS) are encouraged to participate in the 2025 celebration, which is the seventeenth annual statewide program dedicated to literacy-related events. It is a program of the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) and Just Read, Florida!, the FDOE’s statewide reading initiative. The theme of this year’s Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! program is “Building Literacy: Constructing the Foundation for Success.” FDOE encourages all Florida schools to participate in reading books related to workforce education, including books about architecture, construction and engineering, in an effort to connect with the Get There Workforce Education Initiative of Gov. Ron DeSantis. FDOE is also encouraging Florida school districts to coordinate with charter schools they sponsor to encourage their participation in Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! Many of Florida’s public charter schools have participated in “Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida!” during previous years, according to FCPCS President Robert Haag. “The Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools encourages our member schools to be part of the 2025 celebration,” said Haag. “Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! is an excellent program to increase reading among students at Florida’s public charter schools,” said Haag.
