HMH Into Literature^® 2022 was built to address the needs of today’s classrooms and the requirements of tomorrow’s world. Its intentional design, based on evidence-based principles, features program components that work in concert with lesson structure while keeping the student and the reading at the center.
HMH Into Literature is a comprehensive English language arts solution that provides engaging and rigorous texts to build intellectual stamina and tenacity while developing analytical readers, independent thinkers, and proficient writers. High-interest, relevant materials motivate students and serve to build agency and a growth mindset. 

HMH Into Literature was developed with careful attention to these principles for quality English language arts instruction:

• Learning must be student-centered, to develop students beyond their academic competencies, including noncognitive factors, social-emotional learning, and citizenship.

• Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are fundamentally connected strands of literacy and therefore must be taught with an integrative approach.

• Effective teaching is data-driven, and assessment is an essential component of effective teaching; assessment must be conducted within a comprehensive and balanced system that includes formative, interim, and summative evaluations of student progress in meeting targeted learning goals.

• Teachers’ ongoing professional learning is a vital component of quality education; best practices include instructional strategies for everyday teaching plus modeling and coaching, creating an approach to blended professional learning that maximizes educator agency and accommodates individual needs to build a culture of professional growth.
