Core Curriculum
HMH® language acquisition programs ensure every student is given a research-driven, evidence-based path to literacy success. Whether students are growing into English or growing beyond English into another language, growing up biliterate today brings with it significant academic, career, and life advantages.
Key Drivers
We've identified four key drivers to ensuring language learners build and maintain proficiency. Together these cultivate the rich learning experiences necessary for second-language growth.
Build proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing through dynamic engagement with language.
Support the productive struggle that ensures academic and linguistic growth.
Provide opportunities to build academic language and to communicate in real-world contexts.
Connect to culture through rich, relevant resources that are central to the first and second language.
Successful outcomes are personal for us.

The Seal of Biliteracy
The Seal of Biliteracy marks students' deep commitments to experiencing the power that proficiency in more than one language brings to their lives—including global awareness, cultural competence, and academic excellence.
HMH celebrates all students who have earned the Seal of Biliteracy. Here are just a few of the thousands who are doing so each year.
- "Ultimately, I wanted to get to a level of fluency where I could travel to different countries and be able to get around with ease, and I think that the Seal of Biliteracy is a great way to measure that."
Andrew, Senior at Oak Park and River Forest High School, Oak Park IL

- "Being able to communicate with a larger population of people around the world pushed me to understand and perfect my knowledge in Polish and Spanish, and ultimately towards obtaining the Seal of Biliteracy."
