Storysacks – Centre for Family Literacy

Storysacks is a program in which parents/caregivers, volunteers and community members work together to make Storysacks as a means of supporting the early literacy skills of preschool children in their community.

Participants learn how to create props and scenery related to a storybook, representations of its main characters, an audio recording and a game based on the book. Storysacks may be used in a variety of settings, including family literacy programs, the classroom, children’s organizations, daycares, libraries and in the home. The program encourages parents/caregivers who may be facing barriers, such as low income, literacy issues, and lack of resources, to spend time together in a safe and constructive environments.
