Midwest Book Review calls this book a " seminal and groundbreaking instructional guide [that] is an essential and substantive contribution that should be a part of every professional, school district, college, and academic library Early Child Education and Media Literacy collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists."
It's also a Spring 2023 Smart Book winner from the Academics' Choice Awards.
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!
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This is a book by a
media literacy educator who understands digital media-and how to teach our
youngest media users, and there is no better media literacy educator than one
who asks, "How can we respond to uncertainty with imagination rather than
fear?" Thank you, Faith. This is the question of our time.

Rogow has gifted us
with a creative and comprehensive manual for teaching media literacy to young
children, a challenge of the past that this author has now conquered for the
skeptical early childhood educator who might question whether media literacy is
age appropriate.
-Stephanie Flores-Koulish,
Professor, Media Literacy Instructor, and Director of Curriculum and
Instruction for Social Justice Program, Loyola University
This is not a book
about media. This is not a book about technology. This is a book about literacy
while using media of all kinds and technology of all kinds, and the power of
inquiry to help children understand and excel in our complex world. Faith Rogow
has done it again-she stretches our thinking, opens our minds, and provides an
array of easy-to-use strategies to support children's literacy for today and
the future. There is no better book for helping you think, really think, about
how to help children become media literate in today's world. It has tips and
"aha" moments on every page!

As I read this
book, I found myself completely engrossed. I learned, I reflected, I related. I
found myself deep in ideas, thinking of how to capture, bottle, and pour this
knowledge into my colleagues and my teaching! Early childhood educators and
children will learn about media beyond imagery. This book talks about thinking
critically about media with intentionality. Readers are guided through
methodologies and taught to become purposeful and digitally engaged,
inquiry-based thinkers.

Kindergarten Teacher, Technology in Early Education, Mentor
