How can teachers be prepared to support all children in becoming literate? How can teachers best mediate the technical aspects of literacy and make these meaningful and relevant to their children? What kinds of pedagogical practices can enable children to become creative and critical users and producers of digital and non-digital texts?

An Introduction to Diverse Literacies in Primary Classrooms brings together the voices of academics, classroom teachers, student teachers and children to answer these questions.

Research into children's literate lives illustrates that literacy is very much integrated into children's ongoing home, community and school experiences, and these rich and diverse literate lives are very often digitally mediated. This essential and practical book explores key themes in literacy education such as diversity, drama, literacy and play, reader response, grammar and childrenâs authorship to understand the interrelationship between childrenâs diverse literacy practices and ways that these can be mediated within the English school curriculum.

Written by a team of outstanding ITE English tutors and esteemed literacy researchers, this book is an essential reference for all student and practising teachers, and a must read for literacy coordinators and those interested in literacy research.
