Reading Curriculum:  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Into Reading

NMES adopted and began utilizing HMH Into Reading in Fall 2023 in grades K - 6th.  It is a comprehensive ELA program that provides explicit, systematic instruction across all strands of literacy—reading, vocabulary, English language development, foundational skills, and writing—all based on trusted research and recommendations from the International Literacy Association (ILA); the International Reading Association (IRA); and other significant research in the areas of literacy education, the science of learning and cognition, teacher preparedness and instructional practices, equity and diversity in literacy education, growth mindset, and digital learning.  Additionally, and since foundational skills are the crucial underpinnings of instruction for children to become fluent, confident, and thoughtful readers, Into Reading promotes mastery of the foundations of reading through a structured sequence developed in close concert with program authors Dr. Anne Cunningham and Dr. Shane Templeton. Daily instruction follows a gradual release model across the full range of the foundational literacy skills: Phonics, Phonological Awareness, Print Concepts, High-Frequency Words, Decoding, Spelling, Word Study, Handwriting, and Fluency.
