About Us
Our Company
Founded in 1984, we have spent the last two decades developing and perfecting computer software based on the effective Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself (DIP) method first published in 1976. We originally produced only an elementary version of the software but soon became very aware of the need for a sequential, basic reading program for secondary and adult students. We applied for and were awarded a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the federal Department of Education to develop the Discover Intensive Phonics software for non-reading adults. The result was Reading Horizons.

Our Products
The Discover Intensive Phonics and Reading Horizons computer software programs, along with their corresponding direct instruction materials, have taught hundreds of thousands of adults, youth, and children to read. In literacy programs nationwide, even non-readers have advanced several grade levels of reading ability while using this interactive, multi sensory software that deals exclusively with basic reading and word attack skills. Our products have been used successfully in thousands of elementary, middle, and high schools; community college ABE programs; workplace and community literacy locations; and adult and youth corrections programs.
We continue to improve existing products and add exciting new elements to our collection of effective literacy tools. We invite you to explore our Web site for information about how our products can benefit you and your students. Feel free to contact us with questions or comments.
