Research Validates Reading Horizons
Reading Horizons products are based on the same principles that researchers have found to be the most effective for teaching emerging readers, struggling readers, and English language learners: Orton Gillingham-based reading instruction that is systematic, explicit, and multi-sensory in nature and provides students with phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension instruction.
On top of being research-based, Reading Horizons creates dramatic results because the program is perfectly succinct and easy to implement – making effective, research-based instruction simple and accessible for teachers and students.
