Online Workshop for Teachers

We want YOU to become a Reading Specialist!

We want to enlist your help to create an army of reading specialists to attack the literacy problems that haunt and inhibit our nation. An army that is stationed in every school and every classroom across the country fighting for the cause of literacy. An army that prevents students from getting frustrated and giving up before they even have a chance to succeed. We want YOU (and every teacher for that matter) to become a reading specialist.

Reading Horizons Company President, Tyson Smith, discusses his vision for making "every teacher a reading specialist" and the impact he feels this will have on the education system as a whole.

To help us achieve this goal, get into training! We provide a Free Online Workshop which provides teachers with a complete overview of the Reading Horizons method. This method has been used for over 30 years to effectively teach beginning and struggling readers how to read!

The workshop can be completed in about 5 hours and can be paused and reviewed at anytime during the free access we provide every teacher for 30 days.

Share your success!

I truly enjoyed going through the online workshop and practicing the different modules after the lessons. It's one thing to know phonics it's another to teach it. It was fun, interactive, and I love that the students will use their multiple intelligences to improve spelling, reading and comprehension. I look forward to implementing these skills and watch the "Light bulb" of learning come on as the struggled readers become "Confident Readers" for life!!!!! :-) Thanks for the tutorial/workshop. May we all reach as many as we can to be successful independent comprehensive readers!!!!!!! Ms. Lisa Warren

I have had the pleasure of participating Reading Horizon’s online workshop “Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself". The free webinar never failed to impress me with its uniquely simple and practical approach, firmly grounded in the extensive classroom experience of the author. The workshop is packed full of instantly usable ideas, marvelously organized and equally well presented, often with active audience participation. Furthermore, each time I signed in to continue the workshop, I always feel inspired and excited by various ideas for the classroom. In addition, I have used many of the activities and suggestions and always come out of class feeling that my lesson was a great success and that my students have learned skills to take out of the classroom and into their lives. It was really illuminating. I highly recommend this workshop!

I love reading horizons. I noticed Clary wants to teach it in Japan. What is SO great is that I taught many parts of it when I lived in Japan for over ten years. Because Japanese is a syllabic language, what was really helpful was being able to show the slide with the consonant and vowel---like ba, be, bo, bu, and bi and since I spoke Japanese, I could explain how our vowels just made different sounds for the ba, bo, and bu combos. If you know Japanese, you know what I mean......but it was helpful for students to see this distinction because when they read the romanization of their own language, it can be very confusing since the letters look like English. This slide aspect of Reading Horizons was most helpful when I taught English. FYI for Clary and anyone else who has connections to Japan.

Thank you! Watching this workshop gave me the skills I needed to teach my daughter how to read. Her second grade teacher told me she "doesn't know much about phonics" and that "recent research does not support phonics." The school would not even acknowledge dyslexia; they told me since she knew her letter sounds she wasn't dyslexic. They didn't recognize that she displayed most of the characteristics associated with dyslexia. I read every book I could find on the subject, learned how to teach her myself, and now she can read. This workshop played an important role in her success. I wish I could encourage the district to acknowledge dyslexia and the importance of phonics, but they will not listen to me. The district's teachers and students could really benefit from this workshop.

I am really impressed by the things I see on this program. I am from Brazil and as far as what I see it could be use in classroom down there perfectly helping student with intonation improving systematically those who need help speaking.

I think this program is good for Filipino Teachers, on how to improve the way of producing the sounds of speech ,including articulation,stress, and intonation.

As a teacher in Japan, I have seen so many students that hate to study English. I started to notice the once that have given up, because they do not have the skills to read. Now add on its another language. So I will try my best and fallow the Reading Horizons program. I am a believer in this system and will use it to the best of my skills. I know already that I will be able to deliver a greater lesson. Thank you Reading Horizons, Clary

Hello. I have just read Vivienne F Thornton's comments (where are you based?) and believe we have stumbled on to this website at a similar time and in the same country - Australia. I too am a LLN and ESL teacher (at a Community College at present) currently completing a Master of Ed (TESOL) and would very much like further information about the promotion/distribution possibilities for this product in Australia. I have begun explicit phonics instruction linked with increasing phonological awareness for both my first and second language adult learners but have just taken the tour and now downloaded the 30 day free PD trial. This product seems so logical, straight forward and sequential that I can't wait to start! Are there any other research links that you could email me apart from those on the website?

Hi I stumbled across your website while researching phonics activities for my adult students. I downloaded the free trial and will be using it for the trial period with my students. After one session on the program, my struggling students commented that they liked the program and wanted to do more of it. I hope the enthusiasm keeps up! One problem that I have with my ESL students is the American accent. Are there any plans to change to an Aussie accent? Are there any distributors in Australia? If this program does what it says it does I would love to be involved in it's marketing in Australia. Thank you in advance Vivienne Thornton LLNP Teacher

I spent 25+ years as a special ed teacher/administrator and have researched most of the phonics programs presented in that time. When I was told about DIP, I thought "Oh, another one...". However, this program is the most logical program and I have seen dramatic improvement in students for whom other phonics programs had not worked. Not only do students learn reliable decoding skills, but those transfer to significantly improved encoding skills as demonstrated by spontaneous spelling. I have used this program with remedial students (up to and including adults), and had them repeatedly comment "Oh, NOW I get it...". I continue to recommend this program to teachers and parents when consulted about struggling students.

This helps students understand why words say what they say. This program will help me professionally and personally with my own special needs son. Thank you!

This will help my 5th graders! They come into my class afraid and embarrassed to sound out words. I think this will help them solve the mystery! This is exactly what I was hoping to learn. Thanks!

Your company is a blessing to me! My awesome principal introduced me to your program. My nephew is dyslexic and WE have struggled for years with reading. Since I teach first grade, I plan to not only implement it into my classroom but also with my 11-year-old nephew, who is on a second-grade reading level. I am IN LOVE with this program! The online workshop was extremely beneficial! Thank you so much!

As a teacher of reading since 2000, I was introduced to and used several different programs for teaching struggling readers. Needless to say, I was frustrated with the slow progress and no one program was flexible enough to help a wide range of students. Then one day, I was surfing the internet for educational information regarding dyslexia, and happened up Reading Horizons. Fortunately, you offered an online tutorial for teachers. It was easy to use, and was able to complete it in record time. I loved it! The program fit with my philosophical beliefs regarding reading instruction. I immediately ordered my first kit, and never looked back. I continue to purchase products from Reading Horizons to supplement my teaching experience and it just gets better and better.

I was so engaged and impressed with the simplicity, organization, and thoroughness of instruction. My students will become better readers!
