Indigenous Literacy Day is a special day on September 5th where we celebrate and support the sharing of stories and languages of Indigenous peoples in Australia. Indigenous people are the first people who lived in Australia, and they have beautiful stories and unique languages. On this day, we help make sure everyone can read and enjoy these stories. Schools, libraries, and communities come together to read books by Indigenous authors, learn new words from Indigenous languages, and support efforts to bring these stories to as many people as possible, helping everyone learn and understand this important culture better.
How to celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day?
Gather your friends and family to read books written by Indigenous authors. Host a storytelling hour where you take turns reading aloud. Create colorful drawings inspired by the stories you read. Write a friendly letter to an Indigenous author, saying how much you enjoyed their book. Organize a book swap where everyone brings an Indigenous book to trade. Set up a cozy reading corner with blankets and pillows. Share what you learned from the stories during dinner. You could also watch a short documentary about Indigenous cultures. Remember to have fun while learning something new about different cultures!
