Engaging the Eye Generation

Visual literacy strategies for the K-5 classroom

Literacy in the twenty-first century means more than reading and writing — are you ready to discover how to update your curriculum to include both digital and print-based media, imagery, online applications, and audio and video, as well as traditional texts?

This timely book suggests curriculum enhancements ranging from low-tech to high-tech, and explains how teachers, even those with limited technology skills, can effectively guide students to proficiency. Each chapter — filled with meaningful and motivating activities — thoughtfully explains how to elevate traditional learning and add new layers to students` reading comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills.
