Animating Literacy
Edited by Sue Ellis and Kimberly Safford

What does creativity in the classroom look like?

Animating Literacy presents exciting and convincing evidence from schools where
teachers, artists and children work together in filmmaking, storytelling, drama, dance,
visual arts and theatre projects.

Animating Literacy is a window on arts partnerships at work in classrooms from Nursery to
Year 6 and shows how creative approaches to learning enhance children’s reading, writing,
speaking and listening. Partnerships also play a key role in teachers’ professional development.

This lively book of classroom action research will support and inspire educators in the
development of an inclusive, creative curriculum that promotes literacy in its widest sense.

Animating Literacy was supported by Creative Partnerships London South and
CfBT Brixton-North Lambeth.
