September Literacy Month
Each September, Decoda leads a province-wide awareness and fundraising campaign to celebrate Literacy Month.
The campaign highlights the importance of literacy and raises funds to support community-based literacy programs and initiatives across BC.
Our theme is “Literacy: The Ripple Effect”
Improved literacy skills have a ripple effect, helping to improve quality of life at home, at work and in the community.
You can be a part of Literacy Month by:
- joining activities in your community
- taking part in our Team Trivia Challenge
- buying socks through our Socks for literacy! campaign
- entering the #LiteracyRippleEffect contest
- asking your town to proclaim Literacy Month
- asking a civic or corporate business to light up in purple on September 8 to celebrate International Literacy Day
