Use Visual Dialogue to Define and Align Your Literacy Vision
The ThinkPix - Literacy Belief Photograph and Prompt Cards (Elementary) set is designed to help teams uncover, articulate, and align their beliefs about high-quality literacy instruction. Using carefully selected classroom photographs paired with thought-provoking prompts, this tool supports educators in exploring the emotions, assumptions, and instructional values that shape their daily practice.
These cards help district and school teams engage in meaningful conversations to develop, or revisit, their vision and beliefs about literacy instruction. Whether used during curriculum adoption, PLC discussions, instructional coaching, or districtwide strategic planning, ThinkPix supports the creation of shared understanding rooted in research, professional expertise, and authentic classroom practice.
Each image and prompt invites deep reflection on classroom interactions, student behaviors, teacher moves, emotions connected to learning, environmental factors, and the development of foundational skills. The process builds collective efficacy, strengthens instructional purpose, and lays the groundwork for coherent, systemwide literacy practices.
What's included:
- A curated set of high-quality, full-color photographs illustrating authentic elementary literacy moments from classrooms, libraries, and homes.
- Corresponding thinking prompts on the back of each card that explore instructional beliefs, student behaviors, teacher actions, emotional experiences, and environmental factors.
- Facilitator guidance to support purposeful discussion and theme identification.
