The Florida Department of Education’s (FDOE) Division of Early Learning (DEL) is once again collaborating with FDOE’s Just Read, Florida! office, planning the eighteenth annual statewide Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida! 2026 events scheduled for January 26-30, 2026.
This year, the theme is Read, White and Blue: 250 Chapters of America! With this theme in mind, this year’s books are Parade Colors by Barbara Barbieri McGrath (infant/toddler) and What Is America? by Michelle Medlock Adams (preschool).
Please mark your calendars for a simultaneous read aloud on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. EST. Providers will spread the love of literacy in their homes, centers and schools by reading Parade Colors or What Is America.
