Summary:This paper contributes to the discussion of digital literacies in early literacy education. We focus on the nature of screen-based literacy practices in relation to print-based, paper-pen practices in the early years of schooling when pupils learn to read and write (aged 7-8).

However, aspects of blogging and tweeting do approach the characteristics of "new literacies" as defined in previous research.
