Literacy Through Photography for English-Language Learners
by Tabitha Dell'Angelo
This post will describe some ways in which teachers can use photography to support literacy standards. Photography supports literacy in several ways:
It is an excellent way to provide differentiation for English-language learners.
It relieves pressure from reluctant students or striving readers and writers by providing the opportunity to read and analyze photographs instead of traditional print texts.
It represents a culturally responsive teaching method as it demonstrates a way to welcome all voices in the classroom to be heard and valued.
This methodology is based on the work of Wendy Ewald, who writes extensively about literacy through photography.
