Résumé :
Phelicia is a native of California and has her roots in the Bay Area. She's a wife, mother, grandmother, author and a publisher. She has a Masters in Reading Leadership with a focus on Multicultural Literature. Her twenty years in education includes working for private, charter and public schools. She admits one of her greatest joys in teaching included teaching her own four children to read. It was during the homeschool years that she learned that not all children learn the same way and that there isn't a one size fits all curriculum. She's currently a First Grade Teacher and sits on the board of Contra Costa County's Local Planning Council for Early Care and Education. After creating and successfully coordinating a summer Kindergarten Intervention Program for African American Children within her local school district, she continues to advocate for early literacy by participating on the design team for Ready Kids East County. Considering that Phelicia is a literacy advocate and very passionate about early literacy, both the Ready Kids Easy County, and the Local Planning Council positions suit her well. Teaching students to learn to read well, think critically, and develop a love of literacy is a portion of her work. Assuring students have access to literature that reflects their lives and cultures in a positive light is the fuel of her passion. Thus, writing and publishing books for beginning and early readers is a byproduct of her company's mission. She writes so African American children can say, I see Me On the Page....
