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!

I am a special education teacher. I really enjoy Reading Horizons. I like how the lessons dive into the phonic skill that is being practiced. I also like how the lesson give enough practice but do not go on and on. I am grateful for the online resources because they let my kids be able to go at their own pace and practice the skills they need to be successful.

I just had a parent tell me this week that “Reading Horizons has been the key to making him a reader!” When parents use these programs with fidelity, they work! “We LOVE the new program! It’s so perfect for him. He is having MUCH more success with things that have tripped him up for YEARS.”

This is my third year using Reading Horizons, my second year teaching 1st graders. I must say that this program and all of the organized lessons to teach children phonics including sounds of letters, letter formation, blends, digraphs and all the rest are really empowering to the students. The methods, using review, instruction, dictation and transfer are powerful. I have witnessed first hand the difference it makes from the beginning to the end of the year in how the students learn to write a complete sentence with the words spelled correctly. I love the program and all the materials, books, transfer cards, games and activities provided.
