Authentic Literature for Today’s Classrooms
HMH Into Literature offers a curriculum designed to inspire a love for literature among students in Grades 6–12 by providing diverse, culturally relevant texts that connect with their lives. This curriculum focuses on building confidence, mastery of standards, and college and career readiness for every learner in the classroom. With exclusive texts by diverse authors, such as the HMH Fresh Lit collection of culturally relevant YA short stories available in both English and Spanish, students are engaged with topics that resonate with them.
Integrated Reading and Writing Support
HMH Into Literature integrates reading and writing seamlessly with the use of Writable®, a powerful online tool that offers opportunities for daily practice, peer review, and timely feedback on writing. This allows students to develop their writing skills alongside their reading comprehension, enhancing their overall literacy abilities.
Embedded Close-Reading Strategies
The curriculum incorporates Notice & Note signposts for close reading into each selection, encouraging students to think critically and apply the texts to real-life situations. By embedding these close-reading strategies, teachers can support students in developing essential analytical skills that enhance their understanding of the literature.
Support for Multilingual Learners
HMH Into Literature provides in-text assistance specifically tailored for multilingual learners in each lesson. This support includes extra vocabulary, cultural context points, writing stems, grammar practice, and peer-coaching videos, ensuring that all students can access and engage with the curriculum effectively.
Teacher Resources and Customization Options
Teachers benefit from customizable lesson plans and unit planning guides that offer dozens of differentiated activities, small-group assignments, and project ideas to suit the unique needs of their students. The program also includes data analytics tools that enable teachers to identify learning gaps, differentiate instruction, and track student growth with ease.
Professional Development and Feedback Integration
HMH Into Literature prioritizes continuous improvement by incorporating teacher feedback into the program. This feedback has led to enhancements such as grammar quick fix lessons, improved state-specific standards alignment, and the launch of HMH Fresh Lit, a digital library of stories by YA authors on engaging, culturally relevant topics.
