We live in a society where the image is becoming the dominant means of communication, and where once we used pictures to illustrate our written texts, increasingly we are using written text to illustrate the pictures. Most of us engage with moving image texts more than any other form of text in any given day, so the development of literacy skills in young people should recognise that fact. What links all of these texts is that they are all a form of narrative, so when we develop literacy skills in young people what we are developing is the set of skills which will enable them to engage critically with the range of narratives which are in the world, and to be able to construct their own effective narratives. Bill Boyd, Literacy Adviser, Scotland
