Abstract

Explores the centrality of genre to print-driven literacy teaching and learning. Discusses the disjunction for many people between the print and digital or media texts they read and write. Contends there is a need for genre-focused theories and practices of literacy education that explicitly attend to the characteristics of digital texts. (PM)
