Representing the state of the art in multimedia applications and
their promise for enhancing early literacy development, this volume
broadens the field of reading research by looking beyond print-only
experiences to young readers' encounters with multimedia stories on
the Internet and DVD. Multimedia storybooks include, in addition to
static pictures and written text, features such as oral text,
animations, sounds, zooms, and scaffolds designed to help convey
meaning. These features are changing how young children read text,
and also provide technology-based scaffolds for helping struggling
readers. Multimedia and Literacy Development reports experimental
research and practices with multimedia stories indicating that new
dimensions of media contribute to young children's ability to
understand stories and to read texts independently. This is the
first synthesis of evidence-based research in this field. Four key
themes are highlighted: Understanding the multimedia environment
for learning Designing multimedia applications for learning New
approaches to storybook reading Multimedia applications in
classroom instruction. Written in jargon-free language for an
international audience of students in university courses on
literacy and information technology, researchers, policymakers,
program developers, and media specialists, this volume is essential
reading for all professionals interested in early literacy and
early interventions.
