Reconsidering Primary Literacy: Enabling Children to Become Critically Literate

By Kelly Stone

The book will help educators and students teachers understand what critical literacy is, with which ages, stages and grades critical literacy can be used and how they can get started using critical literacy in their classrooms, using a range of relevant practices. Critical literacy is as a process whereby learners are encouraged to challenge and critique language and social practices and actively transform what they see as unjust or unfair, and this book shows teachers how they can weave it into their own practices. It's an accessible guide for educators to help them to understand what critical literacy really means in every-day contexts and how they can teach it most effectively.
