The Center for Literacy
Family Literacy Research Projects
HIPPY Montréal
The Centre was involved in the creation of the Montreal HIPPY program in 2005 as well as managing it from 2009 to 2010. Parents are their children's first – and best – teachers, and the ideal time for kids to start learning is in their earliest years. HIPPY is a home-based, preschool education program that builds on the bond between parents and children.

Lire/Imagine/Read, a collaborative pilot project between the Hospital and The Centre, is happening in four primary pediatric clinics. Parents and children who visit these clinics receive a book in their mother tongue.
