FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (January 14, 2022) – Many of Florida’s public charter schools are expected to take part in “Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! 2022,” slated for January 24 through January 28, 2022.
Member schools of the Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools (FCPCS) are encouraged to participate in the 2022 celebration, which is the fourteenth annual statewide program dedicated to literacy-related events. It is a program of the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) and Just Read, Florida!, the Department’s statewide reading initiative.
The theme of this year’s Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! Program is “Launch Into Literacy, Blast Off Into New Worlds!” FDOE encourages all Florida schools to participate in reading a variety of books to support the New Worlds Reading Initiative program, which provides high-quality, free books on a monthly basis to help instill a love of reading among K-5 students who read below grade level.
Many of Florida’s public charter schools have previously participated in Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! according to FCPCS President Robert Haag.
“Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! provides a focused timeframe to increase reading among students at public charter schools in Florida,” said Haag. “The Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools encourages our member schools to be part of the 2022 celebration.”
