Welcome to the Literacy Experience:

​

I am, Shonita Alford, a Creative, Colorful Catalyst for Positive Change! I am a native Georgia Peach and a resident Charlotte Queen. I am an enthusiastic reader, an avid traveler and a wacky wordsmith. I am a teacher by profession and a Carolina Panther fan by choice.

​

As the Director of The Literacy Experience, I work to promote literacy within the United States and Puerto Rico. This is accomplished by creating community programs to improve communication and English-language skills, providing targeted instruction to bridge literacy gaps, educating families in literacy practices and providing needed print resources to communities in areas where print resources are not available.

​

The great abolitionist and orator, Frederick Douglass, is quoted as saying, “once you learn to read, you will forever be free.” I believe that education is the key to freedom- freedom to dream, to explore new horizons, or to see yourself through a more positive lens. Education offers options for greater possibilities for you, your family, and your entire community.
