This is an accessible guide to critical literacy, a process in
which learners are encouraged to challenge and critique language
and social practices and actively transform what they see as unjust
or unfair. Crucial critical literacy concepts such as access,
power, reconstruction and transformation are explored in respect of
both the wider literature and as they relate to the experiences and
practices of those educators who feature in the book. The key
practice areas for developing children's criticality are also
covered, including the use of toys, children's literature, comic
books and graphic novels, photographs and new technologies.
Threaded throughout the book are the intersecting social justice
issues of gender, race, disability, displacement and social class.
Material is drawn primarily from educators' own narratives about
transformative change in their practice - including their struggles
to understand and enact critical literacy - alongside examples of
their pedagogies for social change. The author identifies a number
of clear directions for educators interested in using a critical
pedagogical approach in their work with children and young people -
helping them to understand what critical literacy is; how they can
weave it into their own practices; with which ages, stages and
grades critical literacy can be used; and how they can get started
using critical literacy in their classrooms.
