What Our Members Are Saying About Us

"PSLA recognizes that reading in the 21st century MUST include more than just words on the page.
That's why I am pleased to provide these educators with background in teaching 'media literacy."

Frank W Baker, Media Literacy Education Consultant

"Throughout my teaching career, from a rookie middle school ELA teacher to a seasoned literacy coach,
PSLA has been a constant source of inspiration and information for me."

Paula Miller, Literacy Coach

"When I returned to SC after teaching in Georgia, my number one goal was to get involved with
Palmetto State Literacy Association. My years of teaching in SC have always been highlighted
by the innovative and steadfast focus on literacy from PSLA!"

Patricia Massengale, University Professor

"I joined PSLA because of the opportunity it's given me to meet other educators in South Carolina
who care about literacy as much as I do. Being a member of PSLA has also given me the opportunity
to learn more about our local chapter, Columbia Area Literacy Association."
