Description: Before Writing by Gunther Kress Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book challenges common assumptions about language and literacy, thought and action. It places these challenges within the context of speculation about the abilities and dispositions essential for children. Publisher Description Gunther Kress book argues for a radical reappraisal of the phenomenon of literacy, and hence for a profound shift in educational practice. Through close attention to the plethora of objects which children constantly produce: drawings, cuttings-out, writings and collages, Kress suggests a set of principles which give insights into the underlying coherence of childrens actions; actions which allow us to connect them with attempts to make meaning before they acquire language and writing. This book provides fundamental challenges to commonly held assumptions about both language and literacy, thought and action. It places these challenges within the context of speculation about the abilities and dispositions which will become essential for children as young adults in the decades ahead, and calls for the radical decentring of language in educational theory and practice.
