English as a Foreign Language (EFL)

Reading Horizons is an award-winning program that has been tested and proven for over 26 years. Educators across the globe agree that Reading Horizons offers the best English education and instruction in the world!

Countries where English is spoken as a foreign language are now finding that despite the many years of English study, students are still not able to read, write, spell, and pronounce words by the time they are done with their secondary education. This is occurring because of the lack of phonics instruction in the classroom.

Phonics instruction employs strategies that give students the logic behind English which makes the learning process fun and easy. When EFL students are explicitly taught the 42 sounds of English and the corresponding written code effectively or in other words, phonics, they are able to learn English successfully and will continually improve their reading, spelling, writing, and pronunciation on their own.
