HMH Into Reading

In HMH's Into Reading for Kindergarten, the focus is on building a strong foundation in early literacy through a research-based approach. The program emphasizes the five pillars of literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. It also integrates language development, writing, and social-emotional learning. The program uses decodable texts to help students apply phonics and high-frequency words in context, providing engaging stories and early reading success.
