Multiple literacies, curriculum, and instruction in early childhood and elementary school

Article Abstract:

The implications of using a multiple literacies perspective in the construction and implementation of literacy curriculum, pedagogy and assessment in early childhood and elementary classroom are described. It is argued that rather than shifting the focus of the teaching and learning of literacy from an autonomous model to include a multiple literacies perspective, it is authentic to construct spaces for learning that prepare students for equitable participation in a global communication and information economy.

Article Abstract:

The term 'multiple literacies', which refers to multiple ways to look at the world, impact how students make connections to and understand their world. Middle school students need to know that they have valuable and unique ways to understand academic and nonacademic text. Through the use of hidden literacies, educators can build students' authentic academic literacies and change the knowledge to transformative literacies to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.
