Dalton, Bridget – Reading Teacher, 2015

Young children draw on all their senses to engage with the world around them.

Rowsell, Jennifer; Pahl, Kate – Reading Research Quarterly, 2007
The commentary argues for an understanding of how texts are put together that accounts for multimodality and draws on children's ways of being and doing in the home, their "habitus".
