How can teachers be prepared to support all children in becoming literate? How can teachers best mediate the technical aspects of literacy and make these meaningful and relevant to their children? What kinds of pedagogical practices can enable children to become creative and critical users and producers of digital and non-digital texts?An Introduction to Diverse Literacies in Primary Classrooms brings together the voices of academics, classroom teachers, student teachers and children to answer these questions.Research into children's literate lives illustrates that literacy is very much integrated into children's ongoing home, community and school experiences, and these rich and diverse literate lives are very often digitally mediated. This essential and practical book explores key themes in literacy education such as diversity, drama, literacy and play, reader response, grammar and children’s authorship to understand the interrelationship between children’s diverse literacy practices and ways that these can be mediated within the English school curriculum.Written by a team of outstanding ITE English tutors and esteemed literacy researchers, this book is an essential reference for all student and practising teachers, and a must read for literacy coordinators and those interested in literacy research.

This book demonstrates how literacy education can flourish when togetherness, community and diversity are at the core of the literacy pedagogy, when teachers work with children to generate safe spaces where it is possible for children to experiment with meaning making and, through doing so, to play with possibilities for who they might be and what they might do.Cathy Burnett, Professor Emerita, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
