“We are honored to be recognized by our peers in education, and especially by the teachers who are using our science-based reading program to help students attain reading proficiency by the end of 3rd grade,” said Stacy Hurst, Chief Academic Officer of Reading Horizons.
While 95% of third graders nationwide are cognitively capable of reading proficiently, data shows that 64% are not reading proficiently by the end of 3rd 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 formative and critical K–3 years.
“The mission of Reading Horizons is to equip teachers to use a structured literacy approach to boost reading proficiency and captivate students,” said Tyson Smith, the CEO of Reading Horizons. “We would like to thank our community of teachers, administrators, and district leaders who have shown how our fully integrated instructional materials, software, and professional learning are effective in helping students to achieve reading mastery.”
