We employed an embedded mixed-methods design, combining quantitative and qualitative research. To investigate the effect of creative drama on story comprehension, we used the Solomon Four-Group Design with a pre-test and post-test control group. To support the quantitative data, we collected qualitative data on children’s views regarding the creative drama process, reinforcing the findings. The study group consisted of 96 children (24 in each of the four groups) attending independent preschools in İzmir’s Buca district during the 2024–2025 academic year. We used a knowledge test on The Bremen Town Musicians and a semi-structured interview form. The Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis H tests were applied. The pre-test results did not influence the post-test scores of the experimental group. Findings showed that children who experienced the story through creative drama had higher post-test scores than those who received direct narration. Analysis of children’s views on the creative drama process and the story revealed themes of “enactment,” “acquisitions,” “emotions,” and “changes.” Enactment included imitation, singing, wearing costumes, and coming up with a title. Acquisitions involved new friendships, emotions, helping others, collaboration, and problem solving. Emotions reflected enjoying the fairy tale, feeling happy, excited, sad, or afraid. Changes included adding different animals, robbers turning good or not being present, the police showing up, owners treating them well, and having the animals be younger. The results highlight the effectiveness of creative drama in enhancing young children’s story comprehension.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145593580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review was conducted to map knowledge on this phenomenon to inform the ESRC-funded study Toddlers, Tech and Talk. Fifty-two papers published from January 2000 to June 2024 were identified from six databases: Australian Education Index, British Education Index, ERIC (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest), SCOPUS and Web of Science, as well as Google and Google Scholar. The literature was synthesised into the following categories: child language and TV-viewing; video calls; technology and musicality, mark making and book-reading; joint media engagement and the home digital literacy environment. Although child ‘screentime’ has been associated with delayed language development, research suggests these effects can be mediated by the context of technology use, parent co-viewing and interaction. Many extant studies are dependent on parental reports of very young children’s digital activity and/or on simulated contexts. To deepen knowledge on this topic, there is rich scope for observational studies conducted in family homes, co-produced research with parents and children, and longitudinal studies of babies’, infants’ and toddlers’ digital language and literacy practices at home.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"380 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145424200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This right not only supports cognitive and academic development but also contributes significantly to social and emotional well-being, fostering active participation in society. However, integrating social justice topics into early childhood education remains a challenge. This article argues that failing to address these topics not only marginalizes children but also perpetuates a deficit perspective. This study explores how an inquiry-based environment empowers agentic literacies. We used a case study approach to examine children’s literacy practices and their engagement with social justice concepts. Data sources include teacher-created storyboards with children’s work samples and dialog, transcripts from planning meetings, and a researcher journal. Data were analyzed using line-by-line coding for transcripts, storyboard dialog, and the researcher’s journal. Visual analysis was used to investigate children’s work samples. The findings illustrate a progression from agentic learners to advocates and eventually activists, with children actively participating in decision-making processes throughout. Two vignettes offer narrative snapshots of the project, demonstrating children’s agentic literacy practices and how children’s wonderings drove discussions and actions around social justice issues in a contextualized meaningful way.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145311026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multimodal literacy emphasizes children’s ability to communicate across visual, spatial, tactile, oral, and digital modes, while creative confidence reflects dispositions of risk-taking, persistence, and valuing one’s ideas. The manuscript uses a vignette-based qualitative design to analyze children’s engagement during self-directed drop-in visits and structured field trips (N = 709 students across 30 visits). Data sources included archival artifacts, participation records, and educator interviews. Four illustrative vignettes show how CCM’s open-ended environment fosters multimodal expression and creative confidence through hands-on building, collaborative design, sustained focus, and cross-exhibit integration. Findings suggest that children’s museums uniquely support meaning-making and creative risk-taking by combining engaging spaces, manipulable materials, open-ended facilitation, and autonomy in movement and choice. Within its defined scope, this manuscript contributes to scholarship on how informal learning environments cultivate the skills and dispositions children need to navigate and shape their futures.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on 22 children (ages 6–7) in the early years of primary school, situated within the early childhood education life phase, whose multimodal mapping activities culminated in a curated exhibition at The Rooms —Newfoundland and Labrador’s provincial art gallery. Data included video transcripts of children’s narrative map sharing, teacher interviews, and field observations. Using reflexive thematic analysis informed by sociomaterial and multimodal literacy frameworks, we found that children’s maps functioned as cultural texts, expressing personal geographies through images, spatial arrangement, gesture and narration. Public exhibition recontextualized these artifacts as civic texts, validating children’s knowledge and affirming cultural identities—particularly for newcomer families. This study contributes to early childhood literacies and public pedagogy scholarship, illustrating how gallery curation can foster cultural affirmation, relational pedagogy, and civic participation within early education.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145127680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our intention is to build on and disrupt established theories about children’s museums by thinking differently and creatively about new ways of seeing, knowing, and understanding children’s literate practices in these spaces. We have written before about children’s interactions as social practices where material (human and non-human), discursive, and spatial resources come together through physical and virtual interactions. Building on that work, we consider the complex interplay between the emerging identity of the place, the children’s engagement with the experiences, and the connections the children made through their play. The playgroups at this children’s museum have offered us new perspectives on and learnings about young children’s literate practices through digital experiences and the unique opportunities for playing, learning and connecting with technologies.","PeriodicalId":47033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Literacy","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145116356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
