Reading Horizons has transformed the way our kids learn to read. It’s systematic, engaging and easy to implement. And most importantly—it’s effective.”

DESE-Approved for K–5 Supplemental Instructional Materials
Reading Horizons is one of just nine programs on Missouri’s approved list for K–5 supplemental instructional materials, and the opportunity to positively impact thousands of striving students across Missouri inspires everyone here. Using our evidence-based method—crafted from over 40 years of innovation and research—we’re eager to empower Missouri educators to eradicate illiteracy in the state. We take pride in being more than just a reading curriculum; we’re invested in the success of Missouri educators—and the students they serve.
