SUMMARY:BALID Informal Literacy Discussion: Young children as literacy prac
 titioners
DESCRIPTION:2 December\, 12:30-14:00 GMT\nREGISTER HERE\nThinking of childr
 en as literacy practitioners\, rather than literacy learners\, highlights 
 the active and creative agency they bring to the classroom. This challenge
 s literacy curricula based on assumptions about what children can’t do\,
  rather than what they can. Such curricula often focuses on teaching skill
 s and knowledge associated with print\, yet children’s literacy practice
 s arise from diverse experiences of their social worlds. In this talk\, I 
 draw on ethnographically principled studies of young children’s experien
 ces of literacy in two London primary schools. Both studies demonstrate th
 e children’s agentive literacy practices for managing adult-assigned lit
 eracy tasks.\nSpeaker: Dr Lucy Henning \nDr Henning is a lecturer in Engli
 sh Language and Applied Linguistics at the Open University with a professi
 onal background is learning and teaching literacy in UK primary schools. S
 he researches young children’s experiences of language and literacy from
  a Literacy as a Social practice (LSP) perspective and also has a teaching
  interest in Peace Education in UK schools.
