var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "Reading Horizons software was developed for independent use for students ages 10 and above who read below grade level. Students are able to work at their own pace and receive the instruction that they need to close the reading gap.

The software is not condescending; on the contrary, it helps build self-esteem and self-confidence in students who have repeatedly failed to learn to read. Incorporating the strategies taught in the Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself methodology, this software produces rapid gains, usually two-to-five grade levels in 40-60 hours of instruction.

The latest release, Reading Horizons , is the culmination of 26 years of software development and research and represents the finest reading software in the industry.

Competency-based learning ensures that every student receives the precise level of instruction necessary to maintain high interest while making rapid reading gains. Sixty-eight multi-sensory, interactive lessons allow students to prove their understanding of core concepts by taking a skill check at the beginning of each lesson.

They then receive the appropriate level of instruction to fill the gaps in their reading ability. In addition, the a la carte approach utilized in the 13 Most Common Words lessons allows students to reinforce sight words, using the activities that are best suited for their learning styles."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
