Meet the Requirements of the Tennessee Literacy Success Act
As an education leader in Tennessee, you understand how vital it is to raise literacy rates across the state using foundational reading instruction outlined in the Tennessee Literacy Success Act. And this includes also meeting the needs through English language learner (ELL) instruction and reading intervention in grades four and above.
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.

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.
