Being a virtual teacher this year, this program has been very, very helpful to both me and my students. Everything is online. My students are able to access and work on Reading Horizons from tablets, Chromebooks, or computers, so the program works well with a variety of devices. As a teacher, I can quickly log in to see exactly where my students are and what progress is being made. I use the Course Progression weekly, sometimes even daily. I can also see the last time students logged in, so it is helpful to me to be able to share my screen and say, "Look! You have not logged in to Reading Horizons for 3 days," or "Wow! Look how hard you are working!" Reading Horizons is set up where students can work at their own pace. I have some on Chapter 3, but I also have some on Chapter 1. I am very thankful for this online program during this time of virtual school when I cannot have face to face small groups as I am accustomed to.

Reading Horizons helps me to monitor my students reading fluency for the skills taught that week. I'm able to create groups for specific skills and monitor their progress. I can create reports to see my class progress, group progress, or individual progress. Its kid friendly and great for tier groups. I love using it.

Thanks Matt Hart for your quick responses! Teachers really appreciate this.

Our district has been using Reading Horizons for about 4 months now. I am amazed at the progress I am seeing with my second graders. One of my students would always tell me "I can't read." Then, after using RHD for about a month, he looked at me and said, "I can read now Mrs. Head!" The way the program combines letters and vowels into slides, opens doors to understanding for students who struggle with the traditional beginning, middle, and end sound strategy. The online portion of the program is also extremely beneficial in providing practice and games for concepts we are learning in class. This is an excellent program, and I am so excited that my district has chosen it.

Reading Horizons Elevate has been a game-changer for our school. The training was some of the best training I have ever received which is needed when it comes to teaching reading to students. The program is very systematic and when followed correctly, students see much success. Students also enjoy the marking of words. We had a 4th grader reading at a kindergarten level. Using the elevate program systematically and consistently, he was reading at a 3rd-grade level when he finished the program and moved into middle school. I can't say enough about this program. Not only can it be all done in person but it also has a great online piece which is very valuable especially in this day of age. The online resource for teachers is valuable and helpful. This program is a need for any school that wants all students having reading success.

I could not be more grateful for the Horizons team! I am a literacy coach and we are implementing The Horizons program K-5 whole school. This is our first year moving from intervention to whole school with the program because we have seen such progress in our intervention groups. We are excited to see the benefits and impact that will come. Jenn, Jan and Brittany have been crucial in ensuring fidelity in implementation!

Reading Horizons has been very beneficial for the students I work with. I work at a juvenile facility and many of our students have not attended school regularly and come to us with very low reading abilities. They have little hope and don't believe that they can learn to read. Most of them think it is too late to even try. However, once enrolled in the program, these young men literally take off in their reading. They enjoy reading and within a very short time, their ability to read independently increases, as does their grade. In addition, we see how much improvement and significant gains they made at their discharge assessment. We are seeing tremendous growth in our reading scores. Thank you!! Reading Horizons is amazing!!

I am so grateful for Reading Horizons for my students. Not only can it be used for Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction, but it can be implemented beautifully for Tier 1 instruction. My students' reading scores have jumped at all levels. I love how easy and simple it is to implement. Professionally, I have learned so much about reading and decoding. I am a much better reading teacher now that I use Reading Horizons. I wish I had this when I started teaching 25 years ago!
