The Literacy Through Photography program has been
used in Houston Independent School District since 1990 and has been utilized by more than 25,000
Houston-area students and teachers. The Literacy Through Photography curriculum can be used with traditional film-based photography equipment as well as digital technologies. In addition to the basic LTP curriculum there are special lessons for ESL students and two environmental curricula on Water and The Earth.

Literacy Through
Photography (LTP) is the classroom-based educational component of FotoFest International.
LTP is a writing program designed to help classroom students achieve
better writing and communication skills through the use of photography and visual imagery. |
|
Teachers are provided with carefully designed
lesson plans that offer new writing techniques, basic photography
skills, and effective teaching strategies that transform the
classroom into a stimulating environment to give students
the confidence to express themselves through writing, and
believe what they write.
All LTP lessons are aligned with Texas-state
mandated curriculum requirements for students in third to
12th grades. Students increase visual and verbal literacy
while building cognitive thinking skills, self-esteem, and
awareness of each other. The LTP curriculum provides students
with meaningful subject matter to help them write about their
own photographs, their own lives, with confidence.
