This year’s Voices of Practitioners collection prompts conversations about the value of linking children’s literacy-rich experiences across media types. Literacy is traditionally connected to books, like children’s literature, yet this year’s articles address the broader concept of how teachers use a range of literacy practices and storytelling media for and by children. An expansive view of literacies means that teachers understand that children become fully literate by learning how to engage critically and create their own stories and other texts across various media types, including books, oral storytelling, video and film, online content, and a range of visual and printed sources.
