Visual literacy in needed for perception of visual data in the multimedia text, to understand them and to interpret them correctly. But that is not all, for reading longer texts where words and images have an (equal) important role the student needs metacognitive strategies and specific metacognitive strategies implied in the conception of new literacy’s too. This new and old literacy and new and old metacognitive strategies must be taught in the 21st century school in the frame of mother tongue lessons and in the frame of science lessons.
