In the video data we found connections between the multimodal meaning-making practices of Suhani across two encounters in one day, the first in {\textquoteleft}mat time{\textquoteright} at a kindergarten and the second at afternoon tea with her family. In the first the teacher reads aloud to a group, introducing them to the history of beavers as symbols of Canada. Later, at afternoon tea with her grandparents Suhani demonstrates her close attention to the teacher{\textquoteright}s multiple modalities while also finding her own ways of bridging gaps in her understandings, drawing on family and media discourses. We explain how we approached this data by drawing on linguistic ethnography (Creese, 2008) enriched by a multimodal approach to studying the co-construction of familial narratives (Cameron and Gillen, 2013). We illustrate our three approaches to transcription used in the study that respond to the suggestion by Copland & Creese, (2015: 196) that transcription should be “fit for purpose” and “provide the level of detail required for the job they have to do”. We conclude by briefly demonstrating the insights that were gained from holding transcription as a dynamic craft. ",
