TEACHING VISUAL LITERACY

Edited by Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher. Visual literacy is seen here as an integral part of literacy development, and this much-needed classroom companion helps teachers engage students as critical readers and prepare them for living in the 21st century. Articles by educators explain practical ways to spark students’ interest in reading and help them become critical consumers of visual information. "Just as vision entails more than seeing, being visually literate means that students can interpret and reflect upon images as well as words. These strategies will help your students develop the literacy they need for this brave new century"—Carol Jago, Director, California Reading and Literature Project. Index.
