Lasting Literacy for all Colorado K–12 Learners
Your Priority. Our Commitment.
Boost Reading Proficiency in Your Colorado School District
Reading Horizons Discovery® is an approved program for supplemental instruction and intervention on the READ Act List of Instructional Programming.
As an education leader in Colorado, you know how vital it is to help students achieve reading proficiency by the end of third grade. And the need goes beyond that with Multilingual Learners and those requiring reading intervention in grades four and above.
At Reading Horizons, we’ve continuously aligned with the science of reading for over 40 years to provide a program that is simple for teachers to implement and helps students build the foundational reading skills they need to reach their full potential.
How to Get Started
Building Reading Momentum with Supportive Partnerships
Meet Your Colorado Team
Contact your Reading Horizons account executive to schedule a presentation tailored to your district’s needs.
Take off.
Simply log in and pick up where you left off with a screen that shows everything you need to prep and teach the next whole-class lesson. You’ll see a lesson summary, a script for inspiration (or to read word-for-word), a video that models teaching, and coordinating student slides that, with a tap, display on your SmartBoard or TV.
Take notice.
As you pick up on issues while teaching (such as problems with pronunciation, decoding, etc.), tap students’ names on your screen to use quick, color-coded tracking. Your tagging automatically groups students based on their needs so you can easily divide the class for center work.
Take action.
Each student’s device automatically syncs with coordinating gamified assessment and practice, reinforcing the day’s skill and checking progress. Once they’ve finished the activity, you can view what percentage of students are at or above level, who needs intervention, and which instructional strategies are the best next step.

Tyler Independent School District Research Study
This rigorous study compared impacts between students whose teachers implemented Reading Horizons Discovery® and those whose teachers did not implement the program during the 2021–2022 school year. Both implementation integrity and student outcomes were measured by the Reading Horizons Implementation Integrity Rubric and the DIBELS 8 assessment, respectively. Students receiving Reading Horizons Discovery® instruction demonstrated a positive effect size of .31, a substantively important positive effect, according to What Works Clearinghouse Evidence Standards.
With exposure to the Reading Horizons method, average student growth was more than double that of students without exposure.

Overcome student learning gaps with assessment-driven explicit phonics instruction based on the science of reading.
Foundational Literacy for Older Students
Catching Up. Keeping Up. Moving Ahead.
Nearly 66% of fourth- and eighth-grade learners perform below proficient achievement levels in reading. For students grades 4 and beyond who struggle with reading, the path ahead can be difficult and discouraging. For striving readers, newcomers, and students with special needs, we can do more and do it better. And that’s the focus of this edWebinar.
Access The Science of Reading Collective!
For many teachers, the science of reading feels overwhelming because it’s so… different. As you teach, it’s hard to know for sure if you’re getting it “right.”
