Authentic literature features diverse voices and inclusive representation.
Ensure all students can see themselves in the texts they read and cultivate a culturally responsive classroom through:
- Inclusive and diverse literature that rejects stereotypes and reflects the limitless possibilities for all students' future success
- Suggested opportunities to share cultural perspectives and language connections
- Connections to home and family through Family Letters in multiple languages
An explicit focus on social and emotional skills
Help students develop social and emotional competencies that will build a community of curious, resilient learners and provide a pathway to academic achievement and a lifetime of success.
HMH Into Reading weaves social and emotional learning opportunities into the context of reading instruction through the use of Anchor Charts, explicit SEL lessons, and text-to-self connections.
