Research Supporting the New Features of Reading Horizons v5
Thursday, May 27, 2010

We at Reading Horizons are committed to presenting quality information in our quarterly Branch Out webinars. Generally, we try to keep the webinars neutral, but with the release of Reading Horizons v5, there has been an outpouring of interest in what changes have been made and the reasoning behind these changes. Whether you are a novice or a long time user of Reading Horizons, this webinar will present what research says about reading and how we have implemented that research into our new v5 software.
