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.

Using Reading Horizons has not only made teaching phonics easier, it also makes it FUN! I have taught first grade for 19 years. This is my 3rd year of teaching phonics using Reading Horizons. I wouldn't want to teach phonics again without this program. I know more about phonics since using Reading Horizons than I ever did before. The Reading Horizons staff is kind and always willing to help with questions and training experiences that make it easy to implement into your daily routine. The online resources and game supplement are incredible! My students are engaged every day. They can explain when to use c vs. k, ss, ff, and zz, etc. When a child can explain the "why", then they become confident readers. That is powerful!

The Reading Horizons program is the best!!! I have been using the RH program for years, and I have not found any other phonics program out there that is better. When I went to my first training on RH, I learned rules about the English language that I never knew before! I enjoy teaching the RH program because it is direct instruction that can be given to multiple types of learners. My students stay engaged, and love to play the games too!!

I have been using Reading Horizons for the past 3 years and LOVE it! The way it is designed, it helps me fill gaps in student learning. This is especially powerful as students move in and out. I have the resources to turn to when a student is lacking in a skill. I am able to teach this whole group and small group to fill gaps. Their staff and trainers are amazing and knowledgeable. Every training I have been to has been beneficial and FUN!

I absolutely love reading horizons! Not only is it helping the kids in my classroom but I also have a deeper understanding of sounds in words. Reading makes sense now. I see it helping all of my students who are at different levels in reading. They love it too!

Reading Horizons is a fantastic resource to use when teaching how to read and write. The rules and strategies they use for this program are not hard to understand and use plus it is a great way for the students to not only practice reading and writing but also to see why words make the sounds that they make. It breaks up topics in an easy to teach way and there are quite a few trainings available to help teachers understand how to be utilize Reading Horizons in the classroom as well.
