Deliver Effective Reading Instruction
Do You Tutor Striving Readers or English Language Learners?
In a typical classroom, 30% of all students struggle with reading, 40% of our nation’s adults read below a 6th-grade reading level, and there is an ever-growing population of English language learners (ELLs) in our communities. All of these individuals need an English tutor who can deliver effective and efficient results.
Invest in Effective Tutoring
Reading Horizons® At-Home offers its robust software program along with teaching manuals especially for tutors. The software boasts an administration system that makes it easy to monitor many tutoring students and make individualized adjustment in your tutoring sessions.
How Can Reading Horizons® Help?
The Reading Horizons® methodology empowers tutors with a simple, engaging framework for clearly explaining the rules and structure of the English language to both striving readers and ELLs. The core of Reading Horizons® methodology includes the 42 Sounds of the Alphabet, Five Phonetic Skills, and Two Decoding Skills. Upon mastering this simple framework, students can read, spell and pronounce the majority of the words in the English language with accuracy. Each skill is taught using multisensory (Orton-Gillingham) instructional techniques, helping students make new brain connections that facilitate learning and boost skill retention.
Enhance Instructional Skills
To make the strategies in the Reading Horizons® methodology accessible to tutors, Reading Horizons offers every tutor 30-days of free access to its online training tool, The Reading Horizons® Online Workshop. The workshop provides a complete overview of the Reading Horizons® methodology as described above. Upon completing the workshop you can immediately implement strategies that will lead to greater success the struggling readers and ELLs you tutor.

Save Time Planning Lessons
Planning lessons and running a tutoring business are both time-consuming tasks. To help you balance these two demands, Reading Horizons® offers lesson materials that are scripted to make lesson planning and delivery as simple and succinct as possible.
Reading Horizons® Instructor-Guided Materials can be used as the sole mode of instruction for intervention students or as a supplement to software instruction. One-on-one instruction is beneficial for every intervention student because it offers high-engagement activities that activate many areas of the brain during participation—a key to helping struggling students.
