Text of Note

The author argues for a radical reappraisal of the phenomenon of literacy, and hence for a profound shift in educational practice. Through close attention to the multitude of objects which children constantly produce (drawings, cuttings-out, 'writings', collages), he suggests a set of principles that reveal the underlying coherence of children's actions in making meanings and allow us to see them in relation to their moves into writing. This book provides a fundamental challenge to commonly held assumptions about language and literacy, thought and action. It places that challenge in the context of speculation about the abilities and dispositions which will become essential for children as young adults in the decades ahead, and calls for the radical decentering of language in educational theory and practice. Literacy, identity and futures. Social theory of representation and communication. Some characteristics of speech and of writing. Making meaning in many media. Imagining in different modes. Design and intention. Expression in many modes: synaesthesia. Making sense of the world. Some current ideas and debates about reading. How can we get evidence for reading? What is reading? Some principles. Reading and the context of culture. What does reading mean? Drawing letters and writing dinosaurs: children's early engagement with print. Making paths into writing.

Display and visual space: the design of the page. A theory of children's meaning-making. Interest. Motivated signs. Transformation and transformative action. Multimodality. Representation and communication. Reading. Resources for making meaning. Imagination, cognition and affect. Literacy and theories of language. 'Drawing sounds". Designing meanings.
