The reading of on-screen text
• engages the reader in a very active (dynamic) way
• requires the ‘orchestration’ of information from non-linear, multi-modal sources
• facilitates focus on some key aspects of text (sequence and structure, author/character perspective, etc.)
• extends reading into the ‘new literacy’ of the ICT medium

From an on-screen template
. . . . .
to a creative text
ICT texts 11
The creation of on-screen text • brings the content and structure of writing
into a new and very dynamic relationship• involves strong elements of design as well as
language and style considerations• requires particularly careful consideration of
the potential readers, and how and why they will access the content
• extends writing into the ‘new literacy’ of the ICT medium, facilitating multi-modal communication
• encourages creative thinking and learning (making/exploring connections)
ICT texts 12
“We must challenge and re-define teachers’ perceptions of ‘texts’. We live in a multimedia world where we experience different kinds of text every day. We need to reflect this in the English curriculum. Teachers should take account of the breadth and nature of pupils’ reading and the consequent text ‘models’ available to them.”
