Moving beyond traditional definitions of reading and writing, this innovative volume situates literacy as a complex, multimodal practice involving text, image, sound, space, and gesture. Through a compelling historical and theoretical account of literacy's evolution—spanning from oral traditions and early writing systems to today's AI-integrated learning environments—the text equips readers to navigate a shifting communicative landscape shaped by emerging technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a team of leading educators and researchers, \u003ci\u003eLiteracies in the Age of AI\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a reflexive pedagogical framework that synthesizes didactic, authentic, functional, and critical approaches. Eight accessible yet detailed chapters explore how learners co-construct meaning within diverse social, cultural, and technological contexts.
