As fast-evolving technologies transform everyday communication and
literacy practices, many young children find themselves immersed in
multiple digital media from birth. Such rapid technological change
has consequences for the development of early literacy, and the
ways in which parents and educators are able to equip today's young
citizens for a digital future. This seminal Handbook fulfils an
urgent need to consider how digital technologies are impacting the
lives and learning of young children; and how childhood experiences
of using digital resources can serve as the foundation for present
and future development. Considering children aged 0-8 years,
chapters explore the diversity of young children's literacy skills,
practices and expertise across digital tools, technologies and
media, in varied contexts, settings and countries. The Handbook
explores six significant areas: Part I presents an overview of
research into young children's digital literacy practices, touching
on a range of theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches.
Part II considers young children's reading, writing and
meaning-making when using digital media at home and in the wider
community. Part III offers an overview of key challenges for early
childhood education presented by digital literacy, and discusses
political positioning and curricula. Part IV focuses on the
multimodal and multi-sensory textual landscape of contemporary
literary practices, and how children learn to read and write with
and across media. Part V considers how digital technologies both
influence and are influenced by children's online and offline
social relationships. Part VI draws together themes from across the
Handbook, to propose an agenda for future research into digital
literacies in early childhood. A timely resource identifying and
exploring pedagogies designed to bolster young children's digital
and multimodal literacy practices, this key text will be of
interest to early childhood educators, researchers and
policy-makers.
