HOPE FOR STRIVING READERS
Foundational
Literacy for Older Learners
Students in grades 4–12 can fall years behind in reading — and most intervention programs weren’t built for them. Reading Horizons Elevate is structured literacy designed specifically for older learners, with schools reporting students gaining 2+ grade levels in a single semester.
Unlocking Results In Schools
Horn Lake High Commits To Literacy Intervention
When high school students arrived reading years below grade level, DeSoto County Schools chose action over acceptance. Through daily intervention, students achieved multiple years of reading growth, with below-grade-level rates dropping from 75% to under 10% in just three semesters.
Midlakes Schools Gain Literacy with Reading Horizons
Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District (CSD) is celebrating major academic progress, with student proficiency scores far outpacing state averages. The largest gains came in elementary English Language Arts, where proficiency rose from 28% to 43% — a 15-point leap that nearly doubled statewide growth.
Rankin Elementary Lifts Struggling Readers 63%
Rankin Elementary uses Reading Horizons® to provide intensive Tier 3 reading intervention for students two or more grade levels behind. Among fourth- and fifth-grade students who used the program for at least two years, approximately 63% demonstrated measurable growth on district and state-aligned assessments.
Built to Close Gaps Fast — One Semester or a Full Year
Most older students don’t need another year of reading intervention — they need the right one. Reading Horizons Elevate is sequenced to build foundational skills fast, with an Express Track that closes significant reading gaps in a single semester. Schools also use it across a full year or summer program for deeper mastery.
