Introduction to Diverse Literacies in Primary Classrooms
Perspectives on Pedagogy and Practice
How can teachers be prepared to support all children in becoming literate?
Research into children's literate lives illustrates that literacy is very much integrated into children's ongoing home, community and school experiences, and these rich and diverse literate lives are very often digitally mediated.
How can teachers best mediate the technical aspects of literacy and make these meaningful and relevant to their children?
This essential and practical book explores key themes in literacy education such as diversity, drama, literacy and play, reader response, grammar and children's authorship to understand the interrelationship between children's diverse literacy practices and ways that these can be mediated within the English school curriculum.
What kinds of pedagogical practices can enable children to become creative and critical users and producers of digital and non-digital texts?
By bringing together the voices of academics, classroom teachers, student teachers and children, the book offers insights into pedagogical practices that foster creativity and critical engagement with texts in various formats.
