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 children’s authorship to understand the interrelationship between children’s 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.

Across millennia, humans have told stories to entertain, to share information, and pass on cultures and traditions. Stories are so integral in our lives that their significance can go unrecognised. This book examines the role of narrative in human experience and emphasises its profound impact for young children.Building on work of seminal theorists, the volume looks beyond the stories young children encounter in books and explores narrative in many rich and vibrant forms in different contexts. Contributions from international researchers and authors, whose work has advanced understandings of narrative and its influence on children and society, are included. It invites the reader to consider:What can be learnt about children when we closely observe their narrative play.The kinds of narratives children construct.The diverse ways narrative emerges in children’s play, drawing and emergent writing.The role of objects and materials in children’s narratives.The ways narrative is stimulated by and imbued with the senses.The significance of the moving, feeling, sensing body in narrative play.The role of narrative in promoting social justice and wellbeing.This is a definitive reference work for all practitioners, teachers, researchers and students interested in the power of story and narrative in early childhood education.
