Boost Reading Proficiency in Your California School District

As an education leader in California, you know how vital it is to help students achieve reading proficiency. All students, including English language learners (ELL) and those with dyslexia, benefit from explicit, systematic, and multisensory reading instruction that is grounded in research.

At Reading Horizons, we’ve continuously followed the science of reading for nearly 40 years to provide a program that is simple for teachers to implement and helps all students build the foundational reading skills they need to reach their full potential.

Here’s how to get started:

  2. Get a personalized plan for your schools.
  3. Celebrate reading breakthroughs!

Case Study

Tyler Independent School District Research Study

This rigorous study compared impacts between students whose teachers implemented Reading Horizons Discovery® and those whose teachers did not implement the program during the 2021–2022 school year. Both implementation integrity and student outcomes were measured by the Reading Horizons Implementation Integrity Rubric and the DIBELS 8 assessment, respectively. Students receiving Reading Horizons Discovery® instruction demonstrated a positive effect size of .31, a substantively important positive effect, according to What Works Clearinghouse Evidence Standards.

With exposure to the Reading Horizons method, average student growth was more than double that of students without exposure.

I am amazed by this program! Reading Horizons helps simplify my lessons because it only requires me to review and deliver the material to my students. I can focus more on practicing skills than preparing to teach them. It was also easy to monitor student success and student needs. The skills and techniques were simple and followed a procedure that helped make learning more fun. The best part of the program was when students understood how simple a skill is and how they could apply it in different ways.

Foundational Literacy for Older Students: Catching Up. Keeping Up. Moving Ahead.

Nearly 66% of fourth- and eighth-grade learners perform below proficient achievement levels in reading. For students grades 4 and beyond who struggle with reading, the path ahead can be difficult and discouraging. For striving readers, newcomers, and students with special needs, we can do more and do it better. And that’s the focus of this edWebinar.
