Boost Reading Proficiency in Your South Carolina School District
As an education leader in South Carolina, you know how vital it is to help students achieve reading proficiency by the end of third grade as the state takes action to support early literacy instruction. And the need goes beyond that with English language learner (ELL) instruction and reading intervention in grades four and above.
At Reading Horizons, we’ve followed the science of reading for nearly 40 years to provide a foundational reading program that is simple for teachers, effective for students, and gives teachers the confidence to teach anyone to read.

Case Study
Cleveland County Research Study
Nearly 50 educators across 16 elementary schools participated in this ESSA Research Study to explore the relationship between implementing the Reading Horizons® method and student learning outcomes in K–3 classrooms. Both implementation integrity and student outcomes were measured by the Reading Horizons Implementation Integrity Rubric and the DIBELS 8 assessment, respectively. In all analyses, student performance outcomes increased from pre- to post-test.
The RH method, implemented via its K–3 literacy solutions, meets the What Works Clearinghouse ESSA Tier 3 requirements—Promising Evidence.
Every year that passes that a South Carolina student cannot read on grade level is a year that they fall further and further behind in their ability to reach their full, God-given potential,” said State Superintendent of Education, Ellen Weaver, in a recent news article from WYFF4

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.
