Common Core Reading & Literature Solutions
During the Convention, HMH will exhibit part of its ongoing commitment to providing educators with the best resources to meet Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in the classroom.
Journeys ©2012 is the only K–6 elementary reading program written after the inception of the Common Core State Standards, therefore providing unparalleled and comprehensive support and instruction for the Standards. Journeys supplies explicit, systematic instruction while being fully aligned to the CCSS in the areas of reading, fluency, writing, listening and speaking, language and writing. Reading Adventure Student Magazines provide high-quality literature, informational texts, and instructional content that offer a wealth of opportunity for students to learn and master the Common Core State Standards. Activities provide effective and engaging ways for students to apply the standards. Journeys emphasizes the solid support that students need for college and career success.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s ongoing commitment to providing complete coverage of the Common Core State Standards is evident in the Storytown and Houghton Mifflin Reading Common Core State Standards Packages. These packages, when used as a support to Storytown and Houghton Mifflin Reading, will provide 100% coverage of the Common Core State Standards. Instructional materials help teachers smoothly integrate the Common Core State Standards into their core program instruction and provide optimal support.
Holt McDougal Literature ©2012 provides comprehensive instruction in all five strands of the Common Core State Standards. The only program on the market today that provides on-page citations of the Common Core State Standards in both the student and teacher editions, Holt McDougal Literature supplies the rigor of complex literary and informational text in a table of contents that is rich in contemporary favorites as well as beloved classics. Line numbers on every selection support students’ use of specific textual evidence which pervades the Common Core State Standards.
