Overview
During the 2022–2023 school year, Council Rock School District in Newtown, PA implemented the Reading Horizons Discovery® curriculum with 718 students across 30 K–2 classrooms.
In first-grade classrooms, more teacher participation in Reading Horizons-facilitated professional learning was statistically significantly associated with higher scores in DIBELS composite, phonemic awareness, correct letter sounds, and words decoded correctly. Kindergarten students in classrooms where teachers completed more self-paced online professional development had significantly higher scores in spring DIBELS composite, phonemic awareness, correct letter sounds, and words decoded correctly.
