'Teaching Visual Literacy in the Primary Classroom' shows how everyday Literacy sessions can be made more exciting, dynamic and effective by using a wide range of media and visual texts in the primary classroom.
Teaching Visual Literacy in the Primary Classroom is a comprehensive and accessible guide to incorporating elements of visual literacy into everyday literacy teaching. Aimed chiefly at all those who work with primary age children, the book shows how, with simple preparation, exciting media such as film, television, comic books and picture books can be easily integrated into literacy sessions to create relevant and dynamic lessons that will help children to develop important literacy skills and knowledge.
Designed to support the renewed Framework for Literacy, each chapter is linked to the National Curriculum learning objectives and contains a mix of practical classroom activities, resources and clear theoretical insights. These can be used individually or in combination to enable teachers to not only develop childrenâs understanding of visual media but also their own expertise. Chapters include: Teaching Visual Texts, Teaching Picture Books (to children of all ages), Teaching Comic Books and Teaching Film, as well as chapters which provide ideas on how to use visual media to teach Genre and the process of Adaptation.
Teaching Visual Literacy in the Primary Classroom is an essential resource for the contemporary primary classroom, providing students and educators with everything they need to know about teaching this new and ever-expanding area of literacy. It contains a wealth of activities, ideas and resources suitable for teachers who are introducing these elements of literacy to their class for the first time or for those who wish to develop their knowledge of visual literacy to teach older and more experienced children.
