Family Literacy Initiative

The Eastern Michigan Writing Project (EMWP) is pleased to offer workshops [PDF] for parents, families, and teens through our Family Literacy Initiative—including a four-part workshop series specially designed for English learners and their families that culminates in a celebration of writing and published storybook of the participants’ writing!  

For almost 15 years now, the EMWP has been partnering with area schools, libraries, and other non-profit organizations to offer workshops for parents and families that promote writing.  The purpose of the Family Literacy Initiative is to reach out and offer parents insight into the writing process so that they can better support their child’s learning at school by encouraging and helping their children with writing at home.
