I see what you mean: visual literacy K-8
NEW EDITION December 2011
This book outlines learning/literacy strategies that invite K–8 students to communicate using visual texts. About two hundred student and published examples illustrate how we can communicate some concepts better with visual texts (such as diagrams) than with conventional, words-only texts (such as a written essay).
