By utilizing ethnographic research in literacy studies, Pahl (Univ. of Sheffield, UK) and Roswell (Brock Univ., Canada) confront society's views on written language by exploring how the visual arts enhance literacy learning. The authors demonstrate that the theory of artifactual literacies allowed the transformation of classroom instruction with multimodal ways of teaching literacy. In chapter 2, the authors demonstrate that artifacts have the power to create listening opportunities for communities through the stories that people tell when analyzing public spaces in museums and art galleries. For example, digital storytelling allows the reader to begin to understand that teachers and students mediate artifacts together, which creates new learning. This complex process is unpacked through the visual display in chapter 6, which provides a simplistic picture of the circle of meaning making. Chapter 7 offers suggestive strategies for utilizing artifacts in teaching and learning by the generalist classroom teacher. In conclusion, multimodality has a small role to play as a conduit between in-school and out-of school literacies. The transmission of ideas and cultural thoughts requires sensory experience through artifactual literacies. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; graduate students and above.
