Prepare teachers to provide research-based reading instruction for striving readers and English Language Learners in grades 4+.
Teaching Striving Readers
in Grades 4+
Empower teachers with the materials to prepare and deliver research-based direct instruction lessons that help struggling readers and English Language Learners understand the rules of the English language and make sense of reading with the Reading Horizons Elevate® direct instruction materials.
The Reading Horizons Elevate® direct instruction materials prepare teachers to do the following:
Align Instruction to Reading Science
Teachers can easily align their instruction to the research-based best practices of reading science, Structured Literacy, and the Orton-Gillingham approach with the Reading Horizons Elevate® direct instruction materials. These materials are naturally aligned with these practices and give teachers detailed prompts for modeling and sequencing their instruction to maximize student understanding and success.
Engage Students in Multisensory Reading Instruction
Multisensory instruction is beneficial and engaging for every student but essential for struggling readers. By using instructional practices that connect multiple senses at a time, students are able to make new brain connections and experience deeper learning. This allows struggling readers and students with learning differences (such as dyslexia) to find success with reading.
Provide High-Interest, Low-Level Reading Passages
It can be difficult to find reading material for older struggling readers that doesn’t feel babyish or off-putting. To give these students the reading practice they need at the level they require, we have created an extensive library of passages that range in difficulty from grade level 1-12 that appeal to older students. Passages cover a wide range of genres, ensuring there are passages to appeal to every student.
Lesson Plans for Striving Readers
Provide teachers with a detailed guide for teaching each skill needed for proficient reading with the Reading Horizons Elevate® Teacher’s Manuals. Each skill is taught with a multisensory, research-based approach that helps students build new brain connections. The manuals can be used as the primary source of student instruction or to provide additional reinforcement when students struggle with a skill on the program’s software component.
