Abstract
- All students must start learning new literacies skills early if they are to gain the skills they will need as adults. Integrating these skills into classroom instruction at a young age is especially important for economically disadvantaged students. Moreover, the interactive nature of the Internet and other digital tools may hold special learning opportunities for young children. New literacies instruction not only is necessary and appropriate for young children; it will define their future.
