Reading Horizons

Reading Horizons is a simple method for teaching reading. As a Reading Specialist and National Board Certified Teacher, I like Reading Horizons because it works! Students of all abilities respond to this method because of the unique coding system. It's also easy to differentiate instruction for the lowest reader to the most advanced reader in my class. I also like the higher order thinking and language development that is involved when students orally "Prove" a word. The support staff and the product will not disappoint!

I am so excited and eager to get started with Reading Horizons! I just finished the first 3 modules. I appreciated everything in the self-paced training. The instructor's pacing was on point, the instructional context necessary for ALL reading educators, and the videos so wonderful to watch in order to have a greater understanding of the lessons.

I wish my district paid for a kit for EVERY teacher! I have been to many great reading PDs but nothing has ever made more sense than this self-paced training I just experienced. I appreciate the opportunity to get a kit and share this reading wealth with other educators and students at my school site. I am ready to start my implementation and application now!

Our school has been so impressed with the Reading Horizons program and the amazing professional development opportunities that they provide. Our students have shown amazing growth through the use of this program, along with our teachers who have also learned more about the phonetic and decoding skills that are a necessity for their students to become strong readers. Unlike other curriculum-based companies that get you to purchase their products and then leave you out in the cold when you need additional training or have questions, Reading Horizons has absolutely the best ongoing professional development opportunities than any company that I've ever seen in my 28 years of teaching. We have loved working with Jenna and the other trainers, and the company is always evolving according to the teacher's and student's needs. Our students are in a much better place in this world, educationally, by being taught with this program.

Our system has been using Reading Horizons for 6 years. The students love the program and so do the teachers. I love how the program is direct, systematic, and explicit. I love how we teach the meaning behind the skills. Seeing the lightbulbs go off is truly rewarding. Our system also using the online portion: Discovery for grades K-3 and Elevate for 4-5 grade. We use the program in the classroom as well as for intervention. The staff at Reading Horizons is great and always willing to help in any way!

Reading Horizons has transformed me as an educator. I have developed confidence, and better instructional skills as I have learned to implement Reading Horizons with my students. My students love reading horizons because it is simple to understand and they are able to take the information learned and apply it in context. They feel confident to figure out any word and they are able to teach others about the skills as well. Reading Horizons is the key to reading that opens up a whole new way of life for those who have struggled with reading. It is so empowering.

I love Reading Horizons. My students love it too! My students love to prove words and to learn the reason behind having to see the word, say the word, make the hand movements, and finally write the word. My struggling readers are improving so much and my fluent readers love to know all these writing strategies to become better spellers and writers.
We use the phonetic skills and decoding skills not just while in our ELA time, but all other subjects!
I can go on and on about how amazing this program is, but go ahead and see for yourself!
Thank you RH representatives especially Ryan Viser! You are the BEST!

I would like to thank Haley Merrill and Brittiney for their continuous online and phone support. As I started using the Reading Horizon Program, I encountered more questions and needed more clarification that did not come up during the trainings.

Haley was always available every time I called her. She was very patient and was willing to walk me through step by step as she was explaining to me how to access and how to read the student's data. She was very understanding and patient in clarifying all my questions. She replied to her email quickly or on the same day.

Online support from Haley and Brittiney was always available and easy to access. When you were not available to help they would have another Representative reach out to me to address my concerns.

My students and I are very happy with Reading Horizons Program and all the Online support Haley and Brittiney have provided.

Reading Horizons has been such a helpful support for the English Learner students in our Local District. Teachers and students have found Reading Horizons helpful for differentiating content to student's needs and supporting students towards achieving at higher levels.

Not long after I began using this program schools were closed and students were having to learn virtually from their homes. I was frequently in contact with my representative at Reading Horizons who assisted me in navigating and utilizing the resources this program had to offer. I put it to the test during the summer when I tutored two small children who lacked confidence in their reading abilities and were struggling to maintain required proficiencies. Reading Horizons provided children with access to online lessons that they could do daily at home. Between my bi-weekly sessions, and the online access provided, these students grew tremendously. In the short time I had to assist these students, their reading scores doubled in both words read per minute and accuracy. I am so grateful to have such an amazing phonics program to assist me in building better readers. Now being back in school, I have began introducing it to my new students. They are engaged and genuinely love the learning process this program offers.
