HMH Into Literature®
Inspire a love for literature
Creating passionate, critical readers in Grades 6–12 begins with literature that relates to their lives.
Authentic Literature for Today’s Classrooms
With diverse, culturally relevant texts that connect with students' lives, our HMH Into Literature curriculum builds confidence, standards mastery, and college and career readiness for every learner in the classroom.
Exclusive Texts by Diverse Authors
HMH Fresh Lit is a new collection of culturally relevant YA short stories written exclusively for HMH. These engaging stories, focused on topics young readers care about, are available in English and Spanish.
Easily Connect Reading and Writing
HMH Into Literature comes equipped with Writable®, a powerful online tool that offers opportunities for daily practice, peer review, and timely writing feedback.
Embedded Close-Reading Routines
Teachers will love how our Notice & Note signposts for close reading are embedded in each selection to encourage students’ critical thinking and real-life application of the texts.
Meet the Authors of Fresh Lit
The authors of Fresh Lit share what they love about young readers, their best tips for being a great writer, and the inspiration behind their stories.
All the Tools Students and Teachers Need to Bring Literature to Life
STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Scaffolding for Multilingual Learners
The program provides in-text assistance for multilingual learners in each lesson, including extra vocabulary, cultural context points, writing stems, grammar practice, and peer-coaching videos.
Culturally Relevant Texts
All students, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, will see themselves reflected in our texts.
Agency and Choice
Students can choose how they want to extend their learning independently with Reader's Choice opportunities and the lesson resource links available in the Student Edition.
HMH Into Literature has newer pieces that competitors don't have. [This is] really critical to us as an ethnically diverse district. YA literature has exploded in readability and interest, and with authors that are so much more diverse, Into Literature has the most appeal for our kids.
