Motivating Literacy Learners in Today's World provides insights
into a broad spectrum of children's literacy learning. Motivation
is the key theme and the authors show how this can be achieved
through reading for pleasure; in writing activities at a number of
levels; and through oral language development. They demonstrate how
the active promotion of culturally appropriate pedagogical
approaches support motivation and engagement in literacy learning.
There is a valuable discussion of the issues surrounding motivation
for students who struggle with decoding text as well as strategies
for practice that can overcome barriers and improve learning. How
creative and interactive processes of drama can be used to
contextualise and animate text provide a fresh insight into
innovative ways to motivate literacy learning. There are also
challenges to the commonly held conceptualisation of being literate
created by the use and potential of digital technologies. This
concept of multiliteracies opens the way for thinking about
contexts, modalities and ways of knowing in today's world.
