Using Multiliteracies and Multimodalities to Support Young Children′s Learning

′This is a timely book that effectively challenges the current emphasis on a homogeneous approach to teaching, learning, and assessment in early literacy. It encourages us to engage with the real world complexity of young children’s learning and offers a series of rich and detailed examples of this in practice.′

This book is helpful in exploring and challenging the orthodoxy of current approaches to learning and teaching early literacy and the implications for young children and educators.
The examples and case studies are powerful in the ways in which visual literacies included can be understood and to facilitate children′s meaning making in a variety of cultural contexts. Methodology and examples of research with children in the reading and writing process is considered from a range of modalities that enable practitioners to review the contemporary literacy practices in schools. -- Dr Estelle Martin * drupal *
