Reading Horizons Review: Deborah L. Thomas
I am writing to you because I am so thrilled with your product. Teaching reading at the high school level to students who do not enjoy reading is a challenge, at best. I have used Reading Horizons for the past 5 years. Your program is a great supplementary tool. Because of the Reading Horizons software, my students are more willing to take the initiative for working on individual areas of weakness on their own personal time. The software empowers them to work autonomously and correct their errors independent of another person or teacher. They see instant results from their work and efforts.
I have had several students make 2–3-year reading gains in a semester using Reading Horizons. I don't know how any teacher could do without this supplementary tool.
Your support staff is great at keeping me current on all of the updates with your company and products. You have an extremely dynamic product that is written at an adult level to work on elementary skills. I have not been able to find any other software that has achieved that goal as well.
***The success story (review) above is based on the Reading Horizons structured literacy program taught in thousands of school districts around the U.S. Reading Horizons publishes a variety of reading curriculum such as ELL reading instruction for speakers from foreign countries and a reading intervention program for readers in grades four and up.***
