ELD for All Proficiency Levels
English 3D includes evidence-based ELD courses that meet the needs of multilingual learners at all proficiency levels—from newcomers to long-term English learners.
Set all multilingual learners in Grades 4–12 on an accelerated path to proficiency with English 3D, our dedicated ELD curriculum.
English 3D is an explicit and interactive English language development (ELD) curriculum designed by Dr. Kate Kinsella. The program enables multilingual learners in Grades 4–12 to rapidly acquire the skills necessary for success in secondary school, college, and career.
English 3D includes evidence-based ELD courses that meet the needs of multilingual learners at all proficiency levels—from newcomers to long-term English learners.
The linguistic, cultural assets, and background knowledge multilingual learners bring to their classrooms are at the heart of English 3D, and are elevated through relevant topics and texts, translanguaging, contrastive analysis, and home language connections.
Lessons and assessments align with the content students will encounter on their state English Language Proficiency assessment, ensuring they are always advancing toward reclassification.
A Kansas City district with a large population of multilingual students used English 3D and its explicit academic language routines to help students gain language confidence.
English 3D builds students’ competence and confidence through consistent instructional routines for academic vocabulary, discussion, and writing. Students prove it through their vibrant classroom discourse.

Multilingual learners will see themselves reflected in authentic texts that reach grade level and beyond. Teaching supports maintain high expectations while ensuring students have appropriate scaffolding to tackle complex material.
Language functions and features are woven throughout English 3D lessons. Students actively use increasingly sophisticated language for authentic purposes, such as restating, elaborating, agreeing, and disagreeing.
Students “flex their language muscles” during daily peer and group interactions. Thoughtfully structured collaboration maximizes students’ time on task, ensures accurate responses, and requires attentive listening.
Multilingual learners in the Hemet Unified School District achieved impressive language proficiency gains with English 3D. Read the full study.
A consistent set of recursive instructional routines supports teachers in maximizing student engagement and accelerating language development regardless of their expertise in teaching multilingual learners.
The English 3D assessment suite, which includes HMH Growth Measure, summative unit assessments, daily formative tasks, and performance-based assessments, provides the data insights teachers need to support each learner.
Professional learning topics help teachers plan, teach, and assess using English 3D on Ed, the HMH learning platform. On Teacher’s Corner, teachers can access over 150 classroom videos of Dr. Kinsella and English 3D teachers modeling key instructional routines, along with personalized Teacher Success Pathways.
Scaffolded writing assignments and tracking student progress are seamlessly integrated with English 3D on HMH’s learning platform, Ed.
HMH Growth Measure is a computer-adaptive screening, benchmark, and growth assessment that schools can use as one measure for determining the placement or reclassification of multilingual students.
Language Launch Volume 1
Language Launch Volume 1 helps newcomer students who are in the earliest stages of English language acquisition quickly gain language confidence. Teacher-guided lessons address critical language functions in the four domains: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
Language Launch Volume 2
Multilingual learners at beginning levels of English proficiency will benefit from Language Launch Volume 2. The program focuses on students’ identities as language learners and prepares them for ELP assessments.
Courses A, B, and C
Students at later proficiency levels build academic vocabulary in Courses A, B, and C, organized into grade-level clusters. These courses enable students to meet the criteria for reclassification and the language demands of secondary core classes.
