The Literacy Through Photography program has been
used in the 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, two environmental curricula on Water and The Earth, and the new My United States FotoFest 2010 Biennial curriculum. |

Literacy Through Photography (LTP) is the in-school education program created by FotoFest International to help students in grades 3-12 strengthen basic learning skills, particularly writing and critical thinking skills. It is a comprehensive program that includes curriculum and teacher training.
