At Southern Lit Alliance, we value literature because it:

• Provides life-long learning

• Improves critical thinking skills

• Improves empathy for others

• Educates on social issues

• Is the most accessible art form as a creator or audience

• Makes better writers

• Provides cultural literacy

Help inspire children and adults to read and write
