Lasting Literacy for all Alabama K–12 Learners
Your Priority. Our Commitment.
Boost Reading Proficiency in Your Alabama School District
As an education leader in Alabama, you know how vital it is to help students achieve reading proficiency by the end of third grade through the Alabama Literacy Act. And the need goes beyond that with English language learner (ELL) instruction and reading intervention in grades four and above.
At Reading Horizons, we follow the science of reading to provide a foundational reading program that is simple for teachers, effective for students, and gives teachers the confidence to teach anyone to read.
How to Get Started
Building Reading Momentum with Supportive Partnerships
Meet Your Alabama Team
Contact your Reading Horizons account executive to schedule a presentation tailored to your district’s needs.
Take off.
Simply log in and pick up where you left off with a screen that shows everything you need to prep and teach the next whole-class lesson. You’ll see a lesson summary, a script for inspiration (or to read word-for-word), a video that models teaching, and coordinating student slides that, with a tap, display on your SmartBoard or TV.
Take notice.
As you pick up on issues while teaching (such as problems with pronunciation, decoding, etc.), tap students’ names on your screen to use quick, color-coded tracking. Your tagging automatically groups students based on their needs so you can easily divide the class for center work.
Take action.
Each student’s device automatically syncs with coordinating gamified assessment and practice, reinforcing the day’s skill and checking progress. Once they’ve finished the activity, you can view what percentage of students are at or above level, who needs intervention, and which instructional strategies are the best next step.
CASE STUDY
Opelika City Schools Evidence Brief
During the 2021–2022 academic year, Opelika City Schools in Opelika, Alabama, implemented the Reading Horizons Discovery® curriculum, which features the Reading Horizons® method based on the science of reading, with 854 students across 80 classrooms in grades K–3.
The results of the study exploring the relationship between implementation and outcomes demonstrates that the Reading Horizons® method, as is implemented via its K–3 literacy solutions, meets the What Works Clearinghouse ESSA Tier 3 requirements—Promising Evidence.
Average student growth from the middle to the end of the year was significantly higher for students in classrooms where teachers scored higher on the rubric.

Foundational Literacy for Older Students
Catching Up. Keeping Up. Moving Ahead.
Nearly 66% of fourth- and eighth-grade learners perform below proficient achievement levels in reading. For students grades 4 and beyond who struggle with reading, the path ahead can be difficult and discouraging. For striving readers, newcomers, and students with special needs, we can do more and do it better. And that’s the focus of this edWebinar.
