Training in the management of audiovisual languages should be basic as part of the individual's literacy in general education in contemporary societies due to the pre-eminence of these in today's world. In fact, to get competency in using symbolic systems of one's own cultural is central to the education of individuals and communities. Thus, since the implementation of the last educational legislation in Spain, audiovisual language is content in primary education, where it appears as part of the artistic education program. In spite of this inclusion as content, it is not taught effectively in the schools basically because there are no teaching hours for it. Due to this circumstance, learning occurs spontaneously and autonomously informally. Audiovisuals integrate several artistic languages with specific grammars conceived as a whole. From this perspective are unitary cultural products, whose study should be focused as such. For this, it is interesting to resort to the multimodal analysis that has emerged as a form of knowledge and analysis in contexts of multiple simultaneous narratives. This article reflects on this situation and presents some innovative audiovisual training experiences for the period from six to twelve years. In this period the acquisition of literacy in the languages of contemporary society takes place. Keywords: Audiovisual education, primary education, innovative programs, art education, multimodal analysis.
