Karen 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.
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.
