Designed for K–8 educators.
Being literate in the 21st century entails more complex criteria than in prior generations. As students move away from print reading and journey into a world of literacy that is predominantly visual, sensory, and technologically based, visual literacy instruction becomes an important part of a child’s education. It allows for a deeper interaction with the “text” and introduces the process of analytical thinking. From picture books to classics, from artwork to advertising, learn how teaching visual literacy helps students better interpret texts of all kinds. Join us for a hands-on, engaging, in-depth exploration which will provide opportunities to link visual literacy with comprehension. Presented by A+ Schools Program of the North Carolina Arts Council.
