The contemporary young reader learns from a very early age to read
and interpret through a broad range of media. Literacies Across
Media explores how a group of boys and girls, aged from ten to
fourteen, make sense of narratives in a variety of formats,
including print, electronic book, video, DVD, computer game and
CD-ROM. This book records these young people over a period of
eighteen months as they read, view and play different texts,
demonstrating variations and consistencies of interpretative
behaviour across different media.
Margaret Mackey analyses how the activities of reading, viewing and
playing intertwine and affect each other's development. Her
in-depth research shows young readers developing strategies for
interpreting narratives through encounters with a diverse range of
texts and media. The study breaks new ground in its illustration
and exploration of the impact of cross-media fertilisation on how
young readers come to an understanding of how to make sense of
stories.
Literacies Across Media offers both a vivid account of a group
of young readers coming to terms with texts and a radical
perspective on the growth of a generation of young readers. It is
thought-provoking, fascinating and highly informative reading not
only for theoreticians interested in the reading process, but also
teachers, librarians, parents and anybody involved with young
people and their texts.
