Reading has been described as the gateway to all learning. Children need to read and write with confidence and competency to learn about themselves and the world. Literacy impacts learning in all content areas, preparing children to do well in school and in life. The Science of Reading, a scientific, evidence base of effective instructional approaches, provides guidance to educators in implementing strategies and literacy programs that help students become skilled readers. With the partnership of families to further support student learning, we can ensure students will not only find out about the world but will also make the world better.

HMH Into Reading addresses the whole child academically, physically, and socially so that all students have the opportunity to truly read and write with understanding. HMH Into Reading clearly puts students at the center of an ecosystem designed to support their literacy and language growth. In addition to the unique and critical role of teachers, HMH Into Reading supports the important contributions of families and school leaders. Indeed, it will take all of us to ensure that all students learn to read effectively and fluently and, just as important, that all students love to read enthusiastically and joyfully.

"The ultimate goal of reading is to comprehend and build knowledge. Therefore, HMH Into Reading’s approach is to focus on skills and strategies that best support the specific text that students are reading. Skills don’t exist in a vacuum. They must be applied to a meaningful activity, in this case, the reading of connected, grade-level appropriate text. "
