This book draws on a longitudinal study which highlights the
beneficial impact of film in the primary curriculum. It provides
detailed accounts of both the reading process as understood
within the field of literacy education, and of film theory as it
relates to issues such as narration, genre and audience. The book
focuses on a small cohort of children to explore how progression
in reading film develops throughout a child’s time in Key Stage
2; it also examines how the skills and understanding required to
read film can support the reading of print, and vice versa, in an
‘asset model’ approach. Since children’s progression in reading
film is found to be not necessarily age-related, but rather built
on a period of experience and opportunity to read and/or create
moving image media, Bulman clearly illustrates the importance of
the inclusion of film in the primary curriculum. The book
provides an accessible study to a large audience of primary
teachers and practitioners, and will be a valuable resource for
students and researchers in the fields of education, English and
media studies.
