‘This an exciting publication that offers authentic approaches for
educators to meet challenges of the literacy that students need in our
evolving digital landscape.’ Maureen Walsh, Adjunct Professor,
Australian Catholic University and Honorary Professor, The University

Merchant foreground the affective, embodied and emergent nature of
making meaning with new media.’ Teresa Cremin, The Open University
The rise of new media technologies has changed the ways in which
children engage with texts and this has implications for literacy
provision in schools. Drawing on research exploring new media
practices within and outside school, this book explains and encourages
classroom activity that makes purposeful and appropriate use of these
literacies and is underpinned by a set of guiding principles for
teaching literacy in contemporary times. Key topics include: Building
on children’s experiences in and out of school Supporting children
to draw on multiple modes and media to develop and convey meaning
Developing a responsive approach to literacy provision Investigating
ways of encouraging collaboration through and around digital media
Encouraging children to use digital media safely and advantageously
This is essential reading for primary English or elementary language
arts modules on initial teacher education courses including
university-based and schools-based routes into teaching and also for
current teachers wishing to enhance their own literacy teaching. Cathy
Burnett is Professor of Literacy and Education at Sheffield Hallam
University. Guy Merchant is Professor of Literacy in Education at
Sheffield Hallam University.
