Rainbow

Content is everything.

Rainbow provided a detailed skill alignment for the core texts and ancillary components of HMH’s Into Reading ©2020, Grades 1–6.

Rainbow’s highly-qualified team of Subject Matter Experts carefully reviewed and analyzed over 12,000 resources, including reading and writing workshop teacher guides, anchor charts, projectable content, student texts, and printable worksheets to determine the essential skills covered within each.

These skill-based metadata tags created by Rainbow’s team enable teachers to quickly and accurately search and identify resources within the Into Reading program that can then be used for targeted skill instruction based on student assessment and performance.

Rainbow developed the Focal Text Take and Teach Lessons & Book Club Discussion Guides to be used in connection with HMH’s Into Reading ©2020, National Edition.

These four-page lessons are designed for Book Club Discussion and include guided reading questions, support for English Learners, key vocabulary, and group project options.

Rainbow developed content for all lessons for Grades 1–6, a total of 288 pages. Each lesson includes a printable Book Club Discussion Guide, which the Rainbow team also created — an additional 456 pages.

Rainbow’s role included full-service content review from manuscript to soft proof for all components and grade levels.
