7. Ministry of Education
(2006) of Ontario,
Canada, has
incorporated
multimodal texts into
the curriculum for
young children as early
as at stage one (p. 45).
Multimodal texts are
referred to as media
texts in the curriculum,
and are introduced in
the English Curriculum
guide as one of four
strands: oral
communication,
reading, writing and
media literacy.
In the UK, a new
primary curriculum is
being reviewed and this
will be implemented in
2011. “ Viewing ” , is
defined as a skill
necessary for
understanding and
responding to
information, and
“ broadcasting ” is
identified as one of the
key skills required to
present ideas and
opinions. (Department
for Children schools and
families UK, 2009).
Australia has a long
history of incorporating
multimodal texts into
the context of English
learning (Curriculum
Corporation., 1994; New
South Wales Board of
Studies, 1998). In the
recent outlined
Australia National
English Curriculum,
systematic exploration
and production of
multimodal texts have
been introduced
throughout the school
years (National
Curriculum Board,
2008).
MOE Singapore has
also introduced new
English Language
Curriculum in 2010 for
primary and secondary
schools to be
implemented from 2010.
In the new curriculum,
viewing and representing
skills are introduced as
receptive and productive
skills to incorporate a
wide range of literacy
information/functional
texts (Singapore, 2010)
There is an acknowledgement that the English Curriculum has to evolve
according to the changing world to prepare children for the
opportunities and challenges of life in the 21st century.

24. Joyce Morris, who has died aged 93, was a tireless
worker for the better teaching and learning of literacy.
She influenced generations of children through her
input to the pioneering BBC television series Look and
Read (first broadcast in 1967) and Words and Pictures
(from 1970), and her Language in Action series of initial
reading books (1974-83). Both were informed by her
analysis of the phonetics of English – a system that she
dubbed Phonics 44, published in 1984 but devised much
earlier – and by a keen appreciation of how to make
reading appealing to young children.
Joyce argued that English orthography is highly
patterned. Only a relatively small proportion of words
diverge completely from conventional patterns. The vast
majority of words can be recognized and spelled by
applying the alphabetic principle of phoneme-grapheme
correspondence and a knowledge of the statistical
probability of sound-symbol relationships in English.
Language in Action included both realistic and fantasy
stories, in a variety of settings, and simple information
books written by a team of talented authors and
illustrators working to Joyce’s brief.
