At Reading Horizons, we’ve followed the science of reading for nearly 40 years to provide a foundational reading program that is simple for teachers, effective for students, and gives teachers the confidence to teach anyone to read.
Here’s how to get started:
- Schedule a Call with your Tennessee Reading Horizons representative.
- Get a personalized plan for your schools.
- Celebrate reading breakthroughs!
This program completely aligns with the core curriculum used in Tennessee K–3 Tier 1 classrooms. It strongly impacts student reading proficiency in all tiers K–12.
Translate teacher knowledge into classroom practice with a program that has followed the science of reading for nearly 40 years.
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.
“The district recently received the state’s highest rating for academic growth.”

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.

We want to treat you and a guest to dinner at Char! Please join Tyson Smith, CEO of Reading Horizons, and educators from our area to discuss the challenges we face following two years of interrupted learning, staffing shortages, teacher burnout, and the reading wars. How are you meeting the challenge? How can education partners be supportive in the process?
Becoming a proficient reader is vital to each student’s confidence and success. At Reading Horizons, our focus is teacher empowerment, student engagement, and being a supportive partner. Our method was founded in reading science four decades ago, and we continuously improve our products to align with new research so every student can achieve reading proficiency.
