Summary

This book offers a range of perspectives on children's multimodal experiences, providing a ground-breaking account of the ways in which children engage with popular culture, media, and digital literacy practices from their earliest years. Many young children have extensive experience of film, television, print media, computer games, mobile phones, and the Internet from birth, yet their reaction to media texts is rarely acknowledged in the national curricula of any country. This seminal text focuses on children from birth to eight years, addressing issues such as: media and identity construction; media literacy practices in the home; the changing nature of literacy in technologized societies; and the place of popular and media texts in children's lives and the use of such texts in the curriculum.
