Chicago Home Tutor Marks International Literacy Day by Sharing Family Reading Habits That Help Children Become Lifelong Readers

CHICAGO, IL, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

In recognition of International Literacy Day on September 8, Chicago Home Tutor is sharing guidance for families on how everyday reading routines at home can help children build literacy skills, reading confidence, and a stronger connection with books. The organization, which provides reading tutoring in Chicago and personalized academic support for pre-K through 12th grade students, is encouraging families to treat reading as a shared family routine, not only a school assignment.

International Literacy Day creates an opportunity to highlight the role families play in helping children become lifelong readers. While schools and tutors provide important instruction, Chicago Home Tutor notes that many children also benefit from small, consistent habits at home that make reading feel visible, approachable, and worth returning to.
