Teaching with Infographics is Essential for Visual Literacy - 0 views

  •  
    "The importance of infographics in literacy education is essential. Literacy is more than just reading and writing. Literate people can infer meaning, communicate with others, and capture ideas in many different ways. With infographics, I hope that educators can broaden our students' visual literacy."

Playing with the Postmodern: Picture Books for Multiliteracies - YouTube - 2 views

    Students need literacy skills to match their knowledge environments. UNESCO (2003) framed its Literacy Decade positioning literacy as a freedom beyond reading and writing, to include capacities for communication and equal participation in the world.

  •  
    "Nearly one in five Australian adults performs poorly in literacy, and this is due to giving up on reading for pleasure as teenagers. People who have basic literacy skills, but struggle with literacy, are known as aliterate. So how can we get teenagers to read for pleasure?

  •

Too often, children view reading as an arduous task because teachers have coupled reading with comprehension questions at the end of each chapter."
