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 use Reading Horizons Discovery classroom materials and the software component. Reading Horizons Elevate is and online resource center for additional resources. I also use the Little Books for connected practice and transfer.
We are so HAPPY with RH! Our students are better learners and we love the results we have seen over the years by consistently using RH in our classrooms and also various grade levels! Thanks for the quick tips! We liked the Dictation Video- gave us ideas to implement best practices! It's always fun to learn from other professionals! Jenna is ALWAYS engaged, friendly, and encouraging!
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!
I teach Adult Literacy in Mississippi and have used the Elevate program and software for 4 years. I really like it. My students usually test in the E level of the TABLE test. They score on level 1 or 2. Through reading horizon, I have seen growth in their reading ability and confidence. They have grown levels in their testing, and even moved on th higher testing books.
Reading Horizons makes me a better teacher. The program is scripted well. It is student friendly too.
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.

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.
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!
Jenna always does a wonderful job presenting the horizons content. I teach Kindergarten and I can take new ideas away from the training each time even though the training may be geared or older grades.
Thank you for helping me freshen up on my Reading Horizons and also sharing tips to save time on my Reading Horizons lessons. I loved hearing from others as well.
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!
The professional development is always helpful and very informative! The presenters are great as well!
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!
Reading Horizons really helps the students that are struggling with reading. It breaks it down into easy steps to help the students learn. I have seen many wonderful things from teaching my students with Reading Horizons!
Awesome program with fantastic support! I highly recommend it. I have seen some great growth with my students.
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.
Even thought this was online it was a great review of how our lessons work. It was great to get ideas and see what is working for others. Very interactive too!

Reading Horizons offers training and curriculum tools that prepare teachers to deliver the principles of reading science in classrooms, hybrid, and virtual settings. We believe teachers are the most important part of every reading program, that is why we partner with schools to empower teachers with the skills and training to reach every beginning reader, struggling reader, and English Langauge Learner. After being trained, teachers are armed with detailed instructional materials and data-driven software to help them implement these strategies into the classroom. Reading Horizons also offers free support to ensure each school finds success with the program.
In the 1970's a seasoned educator, Charlotte Lockhart (also known as the "BiPhonic Woman"), published the original Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself curriculum due to the success she had working with struggling readers in her school. By combining research-based strategies with a simple framework, Lockhart was able to quickly teach struggling students effective skills for decoding the English language.
In 1984, Reading Horizons was contracted to create corresponding software to Lockhart's effective methodology. After Lockhart's passing, Reading Horizons purchased the full copyright to the curriculum in 2001.
By embedding Lockhart’s effective approach into all of its products, Reading Horizons has been able to empower over 50,000 educators with teaching strategies that prevent and remediate the reading difficulties of beginning readers, struggling readers, and ELL students.
