This book explores a spectrum of literacies relevant to dance, physical education and sports. It examines conceptions of movement literacies, disciplinary literacies and traditional school literacies . It includes theory, research and instructional practice related to the uses of traditional print, multimedia, and embodied physical literacies . These literacies function independently but are also overlapping and mutually reinforcing in comprehensive instructional planning. As movement and activity-related fields continue to explore the potential for multiple literacies, this book introduces numerous possibilities, both conceptual and practical , for consideration.

· Pre-service and in-service teachers in dance and physical education programs will learn how to integrate multiple literacies in curriculum design and teaching.

· Graduate students will examinetheoretical premises of movement and disciplinary literacies and become familiar with original research on these topics.

· Teachers, school administrators, coaches and athletic directors will use the book in order to guide the inclusion of movement and activity-based fields in the disciplinary literacy agenda now common in Pre-K through secondary schooling.

Media rich chapters , including photographic, video and other graphic images, **** allow students to access concepts through multiple modalities

Introduces a variety of perspectives exposing future teachers to new possibilities for curriculum design Includes discussions and examples of practical applications for dance, physical education and sports Contains lesson plans that can be used and adapted for dance, physical education and sports contexts
