NM PED 2026 Literacy and Humanities Summer Conference

This session reviews the critical connection between High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) and structured literacy practices while aligning with Multi-Layered System of Support (MLSS) strategies in lesson planning. Participants will explore the specific components of HQIM and understand why these materials are essential for effectively implementing the science of reading.

Through a practical lens, attendees will learn how the MLSS framework can be seamlessly integrated within core literacy instruction to provide tiered support without compromising the integrity of the curriculum. The session provides a clear roadmap for using high-quality resources to meet the diverse needs of all learners, ensuring that instructional materials serve as a strong foundation for equitable and evidence-aligned literacy outcomes. Educators will leave with actionable insights on how to leverage their curriculum to strengthen both Tier 1 instruction and targeted interventions.
