It's A Book

It’s A Book is a short children’s picture book which relates to the many digital literacy’s and different forms of narrative that are present in society today. In this book two characters are introduced. One reads books through a traditional format while the other posses a variety of questions about a book: does it have a mouse, do I need to plug it in? And so forth

This text would be great to use in an upper primary classroom as various discussions can be created about how technologies are influencing how we read.  I would target this book at students in year’s three to seven as they could understand the content and form discussions. Through this text students can easily connect to the humour, the various ways of connecting to a text, how a text is structured and how reading and accessing a book has changed. I found this text to be very enlightening as it made me think about the literacy’s that I interact with on a daily basis and how it has advanced over the past ten and twenty years.
