Abstract

Images can tell stories, convey information and persuade viewers in complex and sophisticated ways. To be literate is about more than being able to read printed text; it is also about closely viewing, deeply understanding, meaningfully engaging with and critically responding to visual texts. Noticing, responding, engaging, critiquing: Viewing visual texts in the primary classroom gives teachers the knowledge they need to teach their students to become active, aware and critical viewers. This book will help teachers unpick the grammar of visual design to help their students become well-rounded reader-viewers.
