Television and Literacy

Section 6.6 of the text discusses how we can pick up tips and techniques from children’s media to aid our teaching with this new media-literate generation (Coats, 2013). Create a classroom newsletter that shares how you are using popular children’s shows to help you engage your students when it comes to literacy instruction. Also, include how you can use television and other media as a springboard for conversation and interaction with 3- and 4-year-olds.
