Media literacy is
about wonder and imagination, questioning and learning, thinking and
reflecting!


Media Literacy for
Young Children: Teaching Beyond the Screen Time Debates
is about all these
things, and more importantly, it is about how early childhood educators and
professionals can prepare children for their digital future.

This book is a first-of-its-kind guide for pre-service and currently
practicing teachers and child care professionals looking for pedagogically
sound and developmentally appropriate ways to help today's children navigate
their media-rich world with confidence, curiosity, and critical thinking.
Detailed descriptions of media literacy competencies, along with dozens of
activities, strategies, and tips designed for children ages 2-7, demonstrate
how to integrate foundational skills, knowledge, and dispositions into existing
routines as well as experiment with new lessons.

By examining media through a literacy lens, this book will show you ways
to

-
Use inquiry and media-making to teach children about
media

-
Plan activities to engage children in meaningful media
discussions

-
Engage with families about the importance of media
literacy education for young children

-
Address media concerns with joy and creativity rather
than anxiety or fear

. . . and much
more!
