Boost Reading Proficiency in Your Colorado School District

Reading Horizons Discovery® is an approved program for supplemental instruction and intervention on the READ Act List of Instructional Programming.

As an education leader in Colorado, you know how vital it is to help students achieve reading proficiency by the end of third grade. And the need goes beyond that with English language learners and those requiring reading intervention in grades four and above.

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

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Schedule a Call with your Colorado Reading Horizons representative.
  2. Get a personalized plan for your schools.
  3. Celebrate reading breakthroughs!

Building Reading Momentum with Supportive Partnerships

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.

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.
