Reading Transformed
Transliteracy calls for reading with more than our eyes.  It involves multi-modalites, multi-media, and multi-literacies.

See the Lessons, How-To's, and Assessment pages to learn how simple it is to

• teach with transliteracy in mind
• follow Common Core Anchor Standards for College and Career Readiness for an 8th grade ELA class
• use your district adopted ELA curriculum to do both
• go digital with the lessons

Visit the References page to find out more about transliteracy and what innovators like Marshall McLuhan say about the history and future of reading and writing for mankind across cultures. 

Listen to McLuhan's amazingly accurate predictions from decades ago about the future of electronic media and how it will change our culture.  Marshall McLuhan Speaks Special Collection: The Future of Man in the Electric Age  This video is really what takes away my fears about leaving the safe haven of reading as I know and love it.  McLuhan's intelligent ideas have convinced me to take a leap into this innovative and frightening idea that our global practices around literacy may change dramatically. ​
