Recenzje

"Lotherington's study presents a new vision of multimodal literacy coherent with the social world that the children will inherit in the future. This project also supports home language maintenance and English-language learning as children acquire the agency to retell their version of a story imprinting their cultural stamp. This book is a must read for teachers and teacher educators concerned about how to foster critical engagement in the literacy classroom. Summing Up: Essential." - L. Lockard, Northern Arizona University, in CHOICE
