Integrating Visual and Verbal Literacies in the Early Childhood Classroom.
Edwards, Carolyn Pope; Willis, Linda Mayo
Early Childhood Education Journal, v27 n4 p259-65 Sum 2000
As children begin to grasp the basic functions of literacy, they become engaged in meaning-making that alternates between and/or combines oral language, written and printed symbols, drawings, and other formats. This article examines the benefits to children of an integrated approach to literacy, highlighting the Reggio Emilia approach, and offers suggestions for achieving a more integrated curriculum. (TJQ)
