The paper summarizes a university-school collaborative learning community’s evolving playbook on experimental multimodal and plurilingual language and literacy education, and illustrates project-based learning, inclusion of children’s linguistic and cultural knowledge in classroom learning, immersive ludic activities, collaborative problem-solving, and agentive participation in an elementary school classroom project.enelementary literacyludic learningmultimodalitypluralingualismproblem-based learningsuperdiversityArticlehttps://doi.org/10.20360/G2M952https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/langandlit/index.php/langandlit/article/view/29348
