Our Curriculum:
Where Strong Foundations Meet Big Thinking
At B-HVS, we believe powerful learning starts with strong foundations and grows into confident, curious, capable students. Our curriculum is thoughtfully selected, research-based, and designed to help every child thrive.
Building Confident, Fluent Readers
UFLI Foundations is a highly structured, research-based phonics program that gives students the essential building blocks of reading. With a carefully designed scope and sequence, students master each skill step-by-step — developing automaticity, confidence, and reading success.
Whether used in primary classrooms or as targeted intervention, UFLI ensures every learner builds the strong decoding skills needed for lifelong literacy.

Where Reading Begins — With Sound
Before children can read words, they must hear the sounds inside them! Heggerty delivers fun, fast-paced daily lessons that help students build essential phonemic awareness skills.
Through engaging activities like rhyming, blending, and segmenting, students strengthen the sound foundations that make reading possible. Designed for Pre-K through Grade 2, Heggerty lessons are short, effective, and easy to integrate into any literacy block — in both English and Spanish.
Handwriting That Builds Confidence
Learning Without Tears combines the science of reading with the science of handwriting to create clear, explicit instruction that works. Students develop strong handwriting skills through:
Developmentally appropriate sequencing
Explicit instruction with guided practice
Hands-on tools that build vocabulary and alphabet knowledge
Multisensory activities that strengthen fine motor skills
The result? Students who write clearly, confidently, and automatically.
Learning to Read — and Reading to Learn
CKLA is a comprehensive PreK–5 literacy program grounded in the Science of Reading. It pairs systematic phonics instruction with rich, engaging content in science, social studies, and literature.
Students don’t just learn how to read — they build knowledge about the world while they do it. This dual focus ensures students become skilled readers and critical thinkers at the same time.

Deep Thinking. Real Understanding.
Eureka Math Squared (PreK–Algebra 1) challenges students to think deeply and make meaningful mathematical connections.
Through conceptual learning, engaging digital tools, and “Notice & Wonder” routines, students actively explore mathematical ideas instead of simply memorizing procedures. The focus is long-term understanding, problem-solving, and student ownership of learning. Math isn’t just about answers — it’s about thinking.

Strong Writing Starts at the Sentence Level
The Writing Revolution provides teachers with the Hochman Method®, a proven, research-based approach to writing instruction.
Rather than treating writing as a separate subject, this method integrates writing into every content area — from science to social studies to literature. Students build skills step-by-step, moving from strong sentences to well-structured compositions.
The Six Core Principles:
Writing requires explicit instruction — beginning in the earliest grades.
Sentences are the foundation of all strong writing.
Writing embedded in content deepens understanding.
Curriculum content drives writing rigor.
Grammar is best taught within real student writing.
Planning and revising are essential to the writing process.
Students learn not just to write more — but to write clearly, thoughtfully, and effectively.

Mystery Science brings science to life through hands-on, standards-aligned investigations that spark curiosity and critical thinking.
Students explore real-world phenomena, engage in meaningful investigations, and demonstrate learning through written and 3D assessments. Every lesson encourages students to ask questions, test ideas, and think like scientists.
