Our image-rich, media-dominated culture prompts critical thinking
about how we educate young children. In response, this volume
provides a rich and provocative synthesis of theory, research, and
practice that pushes beyond monomodal constructs of teaching and
learning. It is a book about bringing "sense" to 21st century early
childhood education, with "sense" as related to modalities (sight,
hearing), and "sense" in terms of making meaning. It reveals how
multimodal perspectives emphasize the creative, transformative
process of learning by broadening the modes for understanding and
by encouraging critical analysis, problem solving, and
decision-making. The volume's explicit focus on children's visual
texts ("art") facilitates understanding of multimodal approaches to
language, literacy, and learning. Authentic examples feature
diverse contexts, including classrooms, homes, museums, and
intergenerational spaces, and illustrate children's "sense-making"
of life experiences such as birth, identity, environmental
phenomena, immigration, social justice, and homelessness. This
timely book provokes readers to examine understandings of language,
literacy, and learning through a multimodal lens; provides a
starting point for constructing broader, multimodal views of what
it might mean to "make meaning;" and underscores the production and
interpretation of visual texts as meaning making processes that are
especially critical to early childhood education in the 21st
century.
