AccessArt.org had this GREAT website up that explained the connections between literacy and looking and seeing. They have since taken it down, but these are links to the webarchive of it from the Wayback Machine.

**Using the //I See What You Mean // Resource ** This resource was created by teachers and education officers who found common ground in the field of teaching literacy. Together we identified reasons why learning from real art objects in the context of a museum or gallery is a unique and invaluable way for pupils of all key stages to learn how language works. The resource has two main aims: * To be inspiring, interactive and useful, and to provide teachers with access to ideas that explore the relationship between literacy and visual arts. We also value your general feedback on the resource. Send your comments about the resource to feedback@accessart.org.uk. Or print off and complete the AccessArt questionnaire. ||
