Visual Literacy


Welcome to The Literacy Shed - the home of visual literacy. Here at Literacy Shed we aim to provide teachers with high quality films and animations that can be used in the primary classroom to enhance the teaching of reading and writing. All of the films on the site we think are suitable for primary aged children although some films may not be suitable for younger children. We urge that teachers watch any films before showing them to children.


Dr John Callow, 2016


Just as there are strategies for us to decode the words, sentences and language of written texts, there are skills and strategies that we can use to read and interpret images in visual text. This is visual literacy.
