HMH Into science let the students make connections across life, earth, and physical sciences through consistent application of patterns, cause and effect, and systems thinking.

Interactive simulations, videos, and virtual labs help bring abstract concepts to life and support different learning styles.

The lessons effectively incorporate disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts in each unit.

It emphasizes deep mathematical thinking over rote memorization. Lessons often encourage students to explore multiple strategies for solving problems.

Interactive tasks, real-world problem-solving, and visual models keep students engaged and help them see the relevance of math in daily life.

It offers a wide range of engaging and diverse literary and informational texts that cater to student interests and support cultural inclusion.

Lessons are clearly aligned with ELA standards and focus on critical reading skills like theme, tone, figurative language, and textual evidence.

Scaffolding tools and differentiated instruction resources are embedded for multilingual learners and struggling readers.

Math - At first glance - comprehensive, student friendly. Performance Assessment with a guide on how to intervene with specific lessons. Math Language Routine, the one I came across is a convince yourself, friend and skeptic - students are held accountable to explain their understanding. The interactive interface of this program is exciting.

Training: I think additional training would be beneficial after getting to work with the program awhile.

HMH into Math provides lesson plans, pacing guides, intervention resources, and teaching strategies. It helps teachers differentiate instruction with different levelled activities and scaffolded supports. The lessons are interactive and gives feedback. The lessons emphasize on real-world application of math, as well as the background knowledge students need for certain topics.

HMH into Science helps students not just learn science but to think like scientists. There are active investigations and experiments which students can conduct in class. I really like the fact that there are stories before each lesson because students can see how scientists are able solve real world problems using scientific methods. The lessons are framed around real-world phenomena which promotes critical thinking of scientific concepts in everyday life. HMH also provides formative and summative assessments to measure student understanding.

For grade 1 we envision adapting2 stories a week as opposed to 3 that HMH promotes.

I really like that HMH into Reading has evidence-based instruction which emphasizes phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. It uses structured literacy approaches to support students who are on different levels of reading. I think the cross curricular component is excellent, as it promotes a deeper understanding across content areas, which encourages students to build background knowledge while developing reading skills. The Interactive lessons and videos, progress monitoring tools and personalized learning paths for students will also be a great help for both students and teachers.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is thoughtfully embedded throughout the program, which is essential for supporting our students’ emotional and social development.

Leveled texts are provided to ensure differentiation, allowing all learners to access the content at their own reading level.

Resources are available to help bridge learning gaps after assessing students’ prior knowledge.

Assessments are ready and aligned with the content to monitor progress and guide instruction effectively.

The Reading modules have a thematic approach which help with cross-curricular integration; and the culturally responsive texts promote student national identity and inclusion.

What can improve:

HMH Into Reading is a well-structured and research-based ELA program but too many skills to do in one lesson. So we plan to split reading and writing on different days, where the first 3 lessons we focus on reading, vocabulary and grammar and the last three lessons we focus on writing for each week.

The platform provides valuable instructional support.

Continuous training is essential for maximizing benefits.

Anchor charts - can this be downloaded? Love reading comprehension - that introduces listening to a text.

Will we have access to the audio files to the suitable (unchanged)texts?

# data[].attributes.body
If the school decides to follow the HMH structure, vocabulary, reading, writing, and grammar will be integrated into each lesson, unlike our current approach (which focuses on reading and writing as separate lessons). This might ensure that all components are covered daily, providing a more cohesive learning experience. Still, we need to consider the time restrictions.
