Produktbeschreibung

At a time when literacy has become more of a political issue than a research or pedagogical one, this volume refocuses attention on work with young children that places them at the center of their literacy worlds. It explores young children's literacies as inclusive, redefined, and broadened encompassing- technologies, multiple modalities, and teaching and learning for democracy, cultural sustainability and social justice.
