McGraw-Hill School Education Group, the leading provider of print and digital educational materials for students in Grades PreK-12, is helping Texas literature teachers easily and effectively differentiate instruction through its interactive worktexts, Read and Write.

Read and Write is a component of Glencoe Literature: Texas Treasures, a comprehensive collection of exceptional literature and engaging nonfiction with integrated skill development and targeted differentiated instruction for Grades 6-12.

Providing true differentiated instruction that is efficient to implement, Glencoe offers three versions of Read and Write worktexts to meet the individual learning needs of students - on-level, approaching and English language learners. Each Read and Write includes authentic, well-loved reading selections spanning various genres with scaffolded reading support. Instruction is informed through ongoing assessment of each student's individual progress.

"Differentiating instruction is a critical part of teaching today but it's also one of the most challenging," said program consultant Doug Fisher, Ph.D., professor of language and literacy education at San Diego State University. "By providing rigorous content with appropriate instruction for varying levels, Read and Write helps teachers more easily determine the specific needs of diverse learners in one classroom."

Glencoe Literature: Texas Treasures has been specifically designed to help teachers teach and students master the new TEKS, TAKS, EOC, ELPS, and College and Career Readiness Standards. The program connects all Language Arts skills, including writing in a variety of modes, to provide students with the foundation necessary to be successful in the classroom, in college and in the workforce.
