Description: Visualising Literacy and How to Teach It : A Guide to Developing Thinking Skills, Vocabulary and Imagination for 9-12 Year Olds, Hardcover by Bowkett, Steve; Hitchman, Tony, ISBN 1032025778, ISBN-13 9781032025773, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Technological advances and the way young people interact with them means children are thinking and processing information in an increasingly visual manner. Visualising Literacy recognises that many, if not most children are attracted to visual images and uses this as a basis for introducing and developing a range of thinking skills and strategies for learning. This practical resource offers a selection of visuals, each accompanied by activities that give children practice in using their imaginations in different ways. Visualising Literacy not only explores creative and critical thinking skills but pays close attention to the over-arching thinking skill that we call imagination. Th contains around 150 practical activities that develop children’s imaginations, focusing on a range of thinking skills including but not limited to: developing observational/ attentional skills noticing details (focusing of attention) assimilating visual information increasing experience of inferential thinking, speculation, dealing with generalisations boosting vocabulary empowering one’s attitude towards exploring ideas learning different questioning techniques increasing the ability to empathise becoming comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity Many of the visualisation techniques can be applied to developing different aspects of emotional resourcefulness including empathy, positive self-image, anchoring positive thoughts and modifying negative thoughts and feelings. This is therefore an essential resource for any teacher or education professional who are keen to develop children’s ability to think and express their own ideas.
