Visual imagery is very accessible and a lot less intimidating to a wide range of learners including non-readers, struggling readers, and English language learners. This enables these students a greater chance to practice some of the forms of complex thinking that they will need as the year progresses such as using text evidence, identifying theme, and making connections.
-
Another advantage the visual imagery has over written text is that it is very fast to decode.
-
Artworks can and should be treated just as a written text. By doing so, students can get their academic thinking started early, laying a foundation for them to build on throughout their school year.

Beyond Gadgets: What Does It Mean to Be a Literacy Teacher Today? - 0 views

I love the way that I can become part of a community that I did not even know existed only a few years ago.

This is one of the most important aspect of 21st century skills - community!
