n the first year teachers were using multimodal texts to teach how meaning is conveyed and then transferring the reading into writing rather than teaching multimodality. Teachers in KS1 have always used picture books but now the focus was on use of colour, common themes, the effect of the picture as well as text and conscious reading gesture. Teachers were allowing pictures to aid comprehension and consequent writing rather than overlooking them.

iving them the confidence to explicitly teach it, along with how it is effective in conveying meaning and this helped the project to keep up momentum. This worked well with the teachers who had been with us during the first year and some teachers who were new to the project but were able to catch up through sharing in their experience

Year 2 Children were talking about links between modes – ‘If we didn’t have the pictures we wouldn’t know how they’re feeling’ ‘The words and pictures try to trick each other’ ‘It’s like the pictures and text are having an argument’ Supported work at KS5 with ‘aspects of narrative’ where the word multimodal is used all the time
