Build skilled readers
Discover a proven path to reading and writing success for students in Grades K–6 with our comprehensive literacy programs in English and Spanish.
Grounded in scientifically based best practices
Based on teacher feedback, HMH Into Reading’s structured literacy instructional design centers on literature that spurs knowledge-building connections. With streamlined planning, a proven instructional design, and comprehensive standards coverage, teachers have what they need, when they need it.
Spotlight knowledge building
Into Reading text sets contain award-winning literature and align to science, social studies, or the arts. Students learn reading, writing, and discussion skills to gain topic knowledge from the texts.
Teach stepped-out foundational skills lessons
Research-based content aligned with the latest training in early literacy improves foundational reading skills. Ascending to Grades 3–6, students study morphology and multisyllabic words.
Present interactive, whole-class instruction
Ready-to-teach, standards-aligned sessions save you time in prepping, planning, and delivering whole-class instruction. Point-of-use tools aid in classroom management, and real-time data insights help inform your instruction.

Efficacious instructional routines, like Learning Goals and Turn and Talks, encourage collaboration and ownership of learning. Interactive, whole-class sessions allow reserved students to participate comfortably with the ability to share their responses anonymously.
Teacher Experience
Your day, streamlined
We built Into Reading to do the busy work for you, so you’re free to do what you do best. With each iteration, we listen to teachers to discover how to maximize their time, such as creating a new session organizer that guides the daily lesson flow and supplies resources in a scannable format.
Make great gains in small groups
We know your time for small-group reading instruction has the biggest potential for impact. Our lessons and resources support all instructional needs, whether multilingual, accelerated, or Tier III.
Assess less, measure more
Assessments and formative quick checks give you the right data to answer the question, “What’s next?” You can use assessment results for instructional planning, standards-aligned content recommendations, and differentiated reading instruction.
