Looking at Literacy: Using Images of Literacy to Explore the World of Reading and Writing Book

Children who understand the nature and purpose of literacy find learning to read and write a more satisfying, engaging, and purposeful activity. One very rich source of ideas is those books, postcards, and posters that feature illustrations of people engaging in reading and writing. In Looking at Literacy, the authors have gathered together information about such images, examining the nature of the demonstrations and ways to develop activities based on their messages. This fully illustrated book is a very practical aid to primary and elementary teachers who want to extend their students' knowledge of reading and writing.
