Cultivating curiosity in children in primary schools is one of the most important things that we can do for them. Developing an enthusiasm for learning is at the very heart of human development and a central reason for teaching information and digital literacy, and is a crucial focus for school library work.
With information about the most recent primary curriculum, government initiatives and inspection changes, this new edition explains the importance of embedding information literacy into a whole school and curriculum context. It outlines and explains research processes for children and shows ways that teachers and school library staff can develop and promote information and digital literacy through the primary school library, linking it to classroom practice.
