Through a variety of theoretical lenses, the author presents a portrait of literacy play that connects three play groups: the girls and, importantly, boys, who played with Disney Princess media; \"Just Guys\" who used design and sports media to make a boys-only space; and a group of children who played teacher with big books and other school texts. These young children \"play by design,\" using play not only as a literacy to transform the texts that they read, write, and draw, but also as a tactic to transform their relational identities in the social spaces of peer and school cultures.  Emphasizing the importance of play despite current high-stakes testing demands, this book:  Provides an argument for re-centering play in early childhood curricula where play functions as a literacy in its own right. Offers cutting-edge analyses and examples of new literacies, popular culture, and multimodal discourses. Illustrates how children’s play can both produce and challenge normative discourses regarding ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. Examines the multimodal, multimedia textual practices of young children as they play across tensions among popular media, peer relationships, and school literacy. Features vivid descriptions, examples of young children in action, and photographs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49900153241873,"sku":"CIN0807752606G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51744459718929,"sku":"CIN0807752606VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52635284635921,"sku":"GOR009511595","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807752606.jpg?v=1762595956"},{"product_id":"literacy-playshop-book-karen-e-wohlwend-9780807754283","title":"Literacy Playshop","description":"Building on her award-winning research (featured in Playing Their Way into Literacies) which emphasises that play is an early literacy, Wohlwend has developed a curricular framework for children ages 3 to 8. The Literacy Playshop curriculum engages children in creating their own multimedia productions, positioning them as media makers rather than passive recipients of media messages. The goal is to teach young children to critically interpret the daily messages they receive in popular entertainment that increasingly blur toys, stories, and advertising.  The first half of this practical resource features case studies that show how six early childhood teachers working together in teacher study groups developed and implemented play-based literacy learning and media production. The second half of the book provides a Literacy Playshop framework with professional development and classroom activities, discussion questions, and \"\"technology try-it\"\" sections. This user-friendly book will inspire and support teachers in designing their own Literacy Playshops.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416398364945,"sku":"CIN0807754285G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52635404140817,"sku":"GOR014573038","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807754285.jpg?v=1762597806"},{"product_id":"playing-their-way-into-literacies-book-karen-e-wohlwend-9780807752616","title":"Playing Their Way Into Literacies","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaren Wohlwend provides a new framework for rethinking the boundaries between literacy and play, so that play itself is viewed as a literacy practice along with reading, writing, and design.
