Elementary schools to renew HMH Into Reading under three‑year extension after curriculum review
Summary
After a full K–12 review, the committee heard that elementary grades will renew HMH Into Reading for three years, adding updated teacher materials, digital licenses and new decodable libraries to support literacy instruction.
Following a district curriculum review, presenters recommended renewing HMH Into Reading for the elementary grades with a three‑year renewal to preserve continuity and allow instructional practices to mature.
Jody told the committee the elementary review concluded that the HMH program remains current and that the renewal will include new teacher manuals, updated digital licenses and decodable library updates that replace older Rigby readers. Committee members noted the value of sustained use of high‑quality instructional materials and that frequent program changes could limit the ability to measure long‑term impact.
The committee also heard that middle and high school teams opted to keep district‑designed curriculum maps rather than adopt an off‑the‑shelf program at those levels. The renewal is planned as a three‑year license and aligns with the district's assessment choices, including the adoption of NWEA MAP Growth.
