Many of our multilingual learners are orally fluent in English but need targeted academic language support to experience success in school. For these students, the key to acceleration is combining engaging content with explicit instruction and structured academic interactions. That’s where English 3D comes in.
English 3D was designed by nationally recognized ELD author, researcher, and teacher educator, Dr. Kate Kinsella. The program effectively accelerates the academic language of students in Grades 4–12 who are developing English proficiency.
The evidence-based instructional routines and relevant text sets in English 3D create a dynamic platform for daily speaking and writing, enabling students to become confident and competent participants in content-area classes, college, and beyond.

Multilingual learners have a wealth of strengths to offer their classrooms and communities. When they come to school, they bring linguistic and cultural knowledge that are assets we can leverage when teaching. English 3D is specifically designed to meet these students’ needs with culturally responsive instruction, relevant topics and texts, and structured peer interactions.
English 3D maintains high expectations with relevant texts that reach grade level and beyond. Teaching supports ensure students have the scaffolding they need to tackle complex texts with confidence.
Language functions are woven throughout English 3D lessons. Students actively engage in using increasingly sophisticated language for different purposes, such as restating, elaborating, and agreeing and disagreeing.
Students “flex their language muscles” during peer and group interactions every day. Teachers thoughtfully structure collaboration to maximize time on task, ensure accurate responses, and require attentive listening.

Scaffolded Writing Activities
Assign writing frames at different levels of support to provide a gradual release as students move toward writing independence. Students can draw from language for writing at point of use that supports them with the language demands for the specific writing type and assignment.
Provide Targeted Feedback
RevisionAid uses on-demand, artificial-intelligence-based recommendations to help students improve their revisions, while allowing teachers to monitor student progress.
Prepare Students for ELD Assessments
Whether you are preparing students for the ELPAC, TELPAS, or ACCESS for ELLs assessment, Writable for English 3D has you covered.
While developing English 3D, HMH® turned to Dr. Kate Kinsella for her guidance on classroom principles and practices that are supported by research. As a result of our collaborative efforts, English 3D provides multilingual learners and their teachers with explicit and informed literacy and language instruction to help them meet their personal, academic, and professional goals.
“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.”
We know success doesn’t come from one solution, but from a network of support. When you select a program from HMH, it’s the start of a relationship—one that helps you implement and raise achievement in the ways that work best for your district, school, or classroom.
Consulting today’s thought leaders in order to foster biliteracy can impact your results.
English learners may also struggle with reading comprehension. READ 180® is the country’s leading reading intervention program in which Dr. Kate Kinsella is also an advisor.
For those students who are significantly behind, System 44® is a foundational reading intervention focused on building phonemic awareness.
Writable’s instructional approach, developed from rigorous foundational research, improves writing with flexible tools that guide students to develop purposeful drafts, incorporate personalized feedback, and produce writing that shines.
