Macmillan/McGraw-Hill's Reading Program Designed to Meet the Needs of All California Students

Macmillan/McGraw-Hill, one of the nation's leaders in educational publishing for elementary schools, offers a variety of differentiated instruction strategies to meet the needs of California students in its all-new elementary reading and language arts program, California Treasures.

"To differentiate instruction, teachers must acknowledge students' differences in background knowledge, skills, learning styles, and preferences," said Doug Fisher, Ph.D., professor of language and literacy education at San Diego State University. "Macmillan/McGraw-Hill designed California Treasures for the diverse needs of California students of all learning levels."

Differentiated instruction tips are embedded throughout the teacher's edition including whole and small group lesson plans and independent workstation activities.

Reading selections in the student edition are culturally sensitive and engaging. Also, additional nonfiction readers are designed for the inclusion of all students - on level, approaching, and beyond. All are written about the same topic so students have access to the same content.

Integrated technology further differentiates instruction with online content, digital assessment tools, and customizable teacher resources. Easy-to-use informal and formal assessments help teachers match instruction to students' needs and monitor their growth.

This all-new program from Macmillan/McGraw-Hill follows a line of successful reading programs from the publisher. Teachers across the nation applaud Macmillan/McGraw-Hill for its reading and language arts programs, which differentiate instruction for today's diverse learners. For example, Randall Kincaid, Instructional Supervisor for Grades PreK-2 for the Sevier County Board of Education in Sevier, Tenn., says,

"We've been extremely pleased with Macmillan/McGraw-Hill's reading and language arts program. It can easily be used for whole group, small group, and individual instruction and the leveled readers help make this seamless. Not only have we seen great progress with test scores, but the program itself is very teacher and student friendly."
