Abstract

The article focuses on the problem of preparing young readers to deal with electronic literature (and, in broader perspective, any new media text), that is: on developing modern students e-literacies. An important teachers’ role in this process is also discussed. Author’s main case study, Inanimate Alice alongside iTeach with Alice platform, is analysed as an “educational blockbuster”, repeatedly awarded and in some countries even included into official school programmes. Its form, history and educational use is described in detail and interpreted. In this context author presents some more general conclusions about educating to reading e-literature and teachers role in this process. Mentioned conclusions are based also in author’s personal teaching experience.
