The Mission
While 95 percent of third graders nationwide are cognitively capable of reading proficiently, data shows that 64 percent are not reading proficiently by the end of third grade. Three out of four of these learners will never catch up. Reading Horizons has made it their mission to fill the need for quality, science-based programs to help students achieve reading proficiency in the K–3 years.
“The mission of Reading Horizons is to equip teachers to use a Structured Literacy approach. This program boosts reading proficiency and captivates students,” said Tyson Smith, the CEO of Reading Horizons. “We would like to thank our community of teachers, administrators, and district leaders who have implemented our program. They’ve shown that our instructional materials, software, and professional learning are effective in helping students achieve reading mastery.”
