Theories and Practices of Multimodal Education


The article, Theories and Practices of Multimodal Education: The Instructional Dynamics of Picture Books and Primary Classrooms, by Dawnene D. Hassett and Jen Scott Curwood discusses how children today can draw from different types of clues when reading children books.  Their comprehension isn’t just derived from print but also from the images, graphics, and even font color.  Interpreting these different types of modes, children could strengthen their understanding of a story by drawing conclusions from their prior experiences and social contexts.

  1. Maybe a little more reflection and connection to the classroom practices? :D
