As a new Kindergarten teacher it has been easy to learn the Reading Horizons method. I am still learning, but it isn't hard. I have seen my kids really enjoy it as they are learning the Slide that they get excited when they write their two letter slide with their arrow at the bottom and as we say the sounds together, they are proud of themselves when I tell them they are close to reading a word! Then we add the 3rd letter and they are so excited when I tell them they just read a word!! yay!!

This is the first year our school district has implemented Reading Horizons, and working with the team has been outstanding. Haley Merrill, Customer Success Manager, has been easily accessible and always provides a quick response. She provides targeted support and troubleshooting for individual teachers. Reading Horizons has facilitated teacher professional development for our school district, provided coaching opportunities and created a resource page curated to the needs of Teachers of English Learners. Reading Horizons Discovery and Elevate provide a structured literacy program that focuses on reading foundational skills for ELs at grades K-12. Based on feedback we’ve received from teachers, Reading Horizons has been convenient and accessible for remote, distance and hybrid learning and provides access to online tools and resources. Through Reading Horizons teachers have access to reports that provide detailed data to monitor student progress and target specific student needs. We highly recommend this program for building foundational literacy skills for English Learners.

Completing the much needed Modules in order to get the fabulous kits to enhance my Special Ed students phonics and reading fluency was challenging. I owe everything to Ms. Haley Merrill who went above and beyond to guiding me and helping me. She is an angel because when I was ready to give up, she encouraged me to continue and trouble shooted with me . Thank you Ms. Merrill for your kindness and patience.

Amazing material! If you have wondered where to start with phonics, or low readers in the class, look no more. This has in class resources which provide all the necessities a teacher needs, as well as online software. You can assign lessons, and even exit tickets. It helps the students be engaged and is very in helping them retain info. It works miracles in helping students decode big words.

I have used Reading Horizons as a Reading and Phonics intervention or small groups of English Language Learners. I love the well rounded program with many facets including review, instruction, dictation, transfer cards, little reader books, practice pages, tests, and games. I also appreciate the introductory chapter that talks about phonemic awareness which is usually the first step prior to reading and decoding about listening to sounds creating sounds and manipulating sounds we hear and speak. Some of the skills of phonemic awareness would be rhyming, hearing the amount of syllables in the word, hearing the words in a compound words, telling all of the sounds you hear in a word, etc. I know there are different versions of the instruction manuals but I’ve got as I’ve gone through many of the example words, some words I feel would be proved with different symbols and marks for example when a vowel is not marked as a schwa when it could be. Some of these words may have already been changed in updated versions of the manuals. As a parent I love the program and I felt it would be important for my children to know these reading, phonics, spelling, grammar rules in English, So I told my kids that if they would let me teach them the 100 lessons that I would give them one dollar per lesson so they could earn $100 for going through the program with me. We have not finished going through the program as a family but we are close, we are in the 90s. I have also told a university literacy program about Reading Horizons. I recommend that they use this program to preservice teachers in their phonics training. Thank you Reading Horizons!

I teach students who struggle with reading. I have had students who can't seem to get it no matter how hard I try to help them. When I started teaching Reading Horizons, those struggling students got it! A light came on in their eyes and they were excited and engaged. I would highly recommend Reading Horizons!

I have been using this program for three years now and I love it ! It is so easy to follow and my students stay fully engaged in every lesson.

My school is in it's fifth year of teaching the Reading Horizon's method. Academically and professionally this company is top notch! Academically, it is a structured literacy program with a clearly defined system of teaching phonics and it is logically sequenced from easy to more complex skills. The staff are personable, knowledgeable, and eager to assist me with any need I have. Their passion for teaching reading is evident from the top CEO to the trainers! It truly is a FIVE STAR company!
