Meeting the Needs of Every Student

Case Study

Iron Springs Elementary

When Iron Springs Elementary first opened, the staff wanted to ensure that every student received a solid foundation in reading. To meet this goal, the staff selected Reading Horizons because it was used at another school in the Iron County School District where it was found to be affordable, engaging, and easy to implement. It also correlated to the National Reading Panel’s research findings concerning effective reading instruction for all students.

To test the efficacy of the program, the Institute for Behavioral Research in Creativity (IBRIC), in partnership with the Utah State Office of Education and Iron County School District, conducted a three-year evaluation of Reading Horizons at Iron Springs Elementary.

Decoding supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with dyslexia

It was my first day with my group of Tier III 2nd-graders, and they were ready to go around the room and introduce themselves. It was going fine until one student said something surprising.

“I’m Jacob, and I can’t read.”

It was odd. I learned later that Jacob was a competitive gymnast and a smart kid, but he chose to identify himself as someone who couldn’t read well.

I told him that I specialize in reading and that I’d help him fix that.

Case Study

North Fork School District

Hundreds of students participated in a district-wide trial of Reading Horizons Discovery® over a period of five months. Students in the trial schools averaged higher average Lexile® measure gains than students in the control schools.

The first and second-grade classrooms that used the program the most throughout the school year showed fewer students needing intensive reading instruction on the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS).

How we turned around our reading program

There were many gaps in foundational reading across classrooms before we piloted our new reading program. It didn’t seem that we had a common methodology to teach foundational literacy. We were looking for a resource to fill this gap. We also were lacking in the area of personalized learning that supported foundational literacy skills. We were having trouble supporting students who needed extra help while providing enrichment for students who were already thriving.

"The children pop up out of their desks every day to do Reading Horizons. We find the children become successful with phonics and reading because [Reading Horizons] works, and the program is very consistent. It presents patterns that the children seem to latch onto very easily…They are immediately comfortable with this kind of approach.”
