Abstract

In this chapter we look at what constitutes literacy in a global environment rich in print, graphics and technology and the impact this has on early literacy learning. We outline some of the theoretical perspectives that have facilitated contemporary understandings of literacy as social practice. In addition, we explore some of the complex social, political and economic factors associated with the development and support of early literacy, and identify practices and principles that underpin literacy teaching and learning today.
