HMH's New Literacy Programs Approved by Texas Education Board

In a significant move to enhance literacy education, the Texas State Board of Education has officially endorsed HMH Into Reading Texas Version 2 and HMH ¡Arriba la Lectura! Texas Version 2 for students in grades K-5. This approval is part of the state’s rigorous Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) process, and both programs have achieved top quality scores among third-party submissions.

Proven Educational Impact

The HMH programs have established themselves as trusted resources across numerous Texas school districts. Building on a solid foundation, the Version 2 editions offer an enriched curriculum that combines research-driven strategies with engaging literature tailored for young learners.

Both HMH Into Reading Texas and ¡Arriba la Lectura! Texas are designed to meet the diverse needs of Texas classrooms. Specifically, ¡Arriba la Lectura! Texas serves districts looking for robust bilingual resources aimed at fostering Spanish literacy in grades K-5. Together with Into Reading Texas, these programs chart a clear course for achieving Spanish-English biliteracy, vital for student success in today’s multicultural environment.

Innovative Learning Approaches

The newly approved programs utilize structured literacy and knowledge-building methodologies backed by educational research. They emphasize a blend of high-quality literature and user-friendly teacher tools, ensuring that instruction is both effective and accessible. The curated selection of diverse texts fosters a deeper connection between reading, writing, and content comprehension, ensuring a holistic educational experience.

Jim O’Neill, President of Core and Supplemental Solutions at HMH, expressed pride in receiving such commendation from the Texas State Board of Education. "We are honored to have our programs recognized and are devoted to collaborating with Texas educators to equip classrooms with necessary tools that cultivate skilled and confident communicators."
