Reading Horizons, a multisensory curriculum used to rapidly increase reading skills, will present the Charlotte F. Lockhart Award for Excellence in Literacy Education to rural Alabama Haleyville Elementary School on April 25th.
Since implementing Reading Horizons for all kindergarten and 1st-grade classrooms in the fall of 2015, 100% of Haleyville Elementary’s kindergarten students are now on target for reading. And after expanding the implementation in 2016 to provide 2nd-graders with Reading Horizons Discovery®, a strategy-based reading program for K–3 students, more than 70% of both 1st- and 2nd-grade students have demonstrated improvement in reading since the fall.
Haleyville is preparing to expand Reading Horizons Discovery® to the 3rd grade beginning in the fall of 2017.
