Reading Horizons Anti-Racism and Inclusivity Statement

At Reading Horizons, our commitment to respect and inclusivity is not just a statement on the boardroom wall but a guiding principle in everything we do. We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual and strive to create a culture that reflects this belief. This culture of respect is beneficial not only for our employees but also for our customers, fostering a productive and inclusive environment.

Our respect for every individual drives our efforts to promote literacy. We strive to provide every individual with the skills and knowledge that unlock their access to an education and career that engages their interests and abilities. Providing a quality education for every individual is the best means for reaching this goal. When executed with equity, education can level the playing field and disarm prejudice, oppression, and poverty while building self-confidence, self-worth, and character. For this to happen, it is essential that educators, students, and publishers are trained and taught to question and correct the implicit, cultural, and historical biases in their thinking, instruction, and materials.

At Reading Horizons, we are unwavering in our stance against racism in any form. Our Cultural Inclusivity Review Committee, whose core belief is that education can bring lasting social change, reviews all of our materials for cultural inclusivity. We conduct regular staff training to eliminate any implicit bias from our workplace. We believe in looking beyond our differences to recognize and nurture the potential in every human being. Our ultimate goal is to empower individuals to reach their full potential by equipping them with the most fundamental skill for any education: the ability to read.
