Literacy
Workshop for Families
The Greenville Public Library is proud to present a family workshop on
literacy Thursday March 16th at 6:00 p.m. called Words, Experiences,
and Relationships: A Foundation for Literacy Learning. The
presenter is Dr. Denice Honaker, a faculty member in the School of
Education at IU East in Richmond IN since 2009.
Denice says “Family is important, and supporting, encouraging, and
educating families to know their value and stay invested in their
children’s learning is essential! This hands-on workshop focuses on
using conversations, everyday experiences and adult-child relationships
as the foundation of literacy learning. Families will be encouraged to
identify and celebrate their own unique literacy cultures. Parents will
have tools to be partners with teachers in supporting their children to
become lifelong readers.”
Denice has over 25 years of experience in early childhood and
elementary education. She’s a first generation college graduate
and earned an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in Early Childhood
and Literacy Education from Indiana University in Bloomington.
She shares that she “is a mom of three amazing young adults, so I
understand trying to keep up with their busy lives along with making
sure they are developing the skills needed to be successful in school
and in life. I am passionate about literacy and especially about
supporting families in understanding and identifying the literacies
that occur in the daily routines of family life.”
Denice’s presentations are lively and fun for the whole family. An
impressive full resume can be found at dehwilli@iue.edu. Join us
for a delightful and educational evening for parents and kids
alike. This is a free event but space is limited so please call
to reserve your seat at 548-3915. Refreshments will be
served.
