Great Program Reading Horizons helps me to monitor my students reading fluency for the skills taught that week. I'm able to create groups for specific skills and monitor their progress. I can create reports to see my class progress, group progress, or individual progress. Its kid friendly and great for tier groups. I love using it.

Reading Horizons is an excellent… Reading Horizons is an excellent program. I have seen amazing growth from the time they entered second grade to present in my students decoding, and reading and phonics skills. This is a direct instruction program where everything is well explained for the teacher. Students may go online and complete lessons such as reading high frequency words and read books from the library. There is an assessement for students to take too.

The BEST phonics program… Reading Horizons is by far the BEST program I have ever used to teach phonics! Using Reading Horizons makes reading make sense! My students every year make huge growth using this program and become excellent decoders. I myself even learned things about reading after using it. I honestly and truly feel like this program helps ensure students don’t have “holes” in their phonics learning and become strong readers. Before using this program, many of our school’s first grade students were not performing well on the DIBELS test. After implementing this program our scores have drastically changed and our students are much stronger readers. I am so grateful to use this wonderful program!

Teacher of 30 years The further I move through the chapters the less I like the program. It is gimmicky. The lessons take longer than the manual states. The 62% of students that do not need this approach to be strong readers and writers are able to follow and understand the more complicated lessons, however the 38% of students that struggle continue to struggle, even with Reading Horizons. If I have to read and reread and reread a lesson to understand it, I doubt 7 and 8 year olds are going to follow it. My students might be able to mark 1 guardian star or two in the isolated lesson, but in “real life” writing or reading they are not applying it. As a veteran primary grade teacher I have seen many trends come and go. It will be no different with reading horizons. They say “but it’s researched based”, well you can find research to lean in whichever way you want. I wish my district wouldn’t waste the money on it. But it’s what’s trendy in education at the moment.

Reading Horizons is an amazing program Reading Horizons is an amazing program. English is my second language and this program is helping me to pronounce words and to know the reason behind the pronunciation. I recommend this program to adults, children and ELL. I can’t say enough about how great this program is! Also, the customer service and support is the best! Thank you RH representatives for everything you do!
