Abstract

Children, Film and Literacy examines the relationship between children’s engagement with film and the development of literacy practices. Becky Parry argues that films provide imaginative and narrative spaces through which children construct identities, participate in storytelling, and develop understandings of narrative structure and visual language. Drawing on research conducted in schools and children’s everyday cultural experiences, the book highlights how film influences play, communication, and creative expression.
