Discover how multiliteracies can help you and your students respond to the evolving nature of texts. This timely resource explains the concept of multiliteracies and provides you with the literacy knowledge, resources, attitudes, and strategies your primary and middle years students need to succeed in a changing world.

In this book, authors Michele Anstey and Geoff Bull present a range of new and established ideas about literacy, emphasising successful practices. Chapters cover how teachers can rely less on print texts; respond to new trends in children's literature; and balance guided reading, outcomes-based curricula, and schoolwide approaches to planning.

New concepts are accompanied by reflection strategies to help you think about your understandings of literacy, multiliteracies, and texts. Plus, all chapters include Theory Into Practice: Classroom Application sections throughout to demonstrate how you can incorporate multiliteracies every day in the classroom.
