Voices of Practitioners, Winter 2024, Volume 19

This year鈥檚 Voices of Practitioners听collection听prompts conversations about the value of linking children鈥檚 literacy-rich experiences across media types. Literacy is traditionally connected to books, like children鈥檚 literature, yet this year鈥檚 articles address the broader concept of how teachers use a range of literacy practices and storytelling media for and by children. An expansive view of literacies means that teachers understand that children become fully literate by learning how to engage critically and create their own stories and other texts across various media types, including books, oral storytelling, video and film, online content, and a range of visual and printed sources.听
