Today is “Summer Learning Day” sponsored by the National Summer Learning Association. To celebrate Summer Learning Day, Reading Horizons is encouraging parents to read with their kids to encourage the development of effective reading skills in their children, especially children that struggle with reading. We would also like to encourage our customers to find the time to have their children work on Reading Horizons program to encourage and promote the reading skills of struggling readers.
Improving the reading skills of struggling readers through the use of Reading Horizons reading program, embodies the ideals of Summer Learning Day in the following ways:
1. Maintain and advance participants' academic and developmental growth
Reading Horizons works to promote users academic and developmental growth by providing struggling readers with a means to overcome their difficulty. As students progress through school their academic growth and success becomes more and more dependent on effective literacy skills. Reading Horizons works to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn the foundational skills that promote successful reading and eventually a successful education.
2. Support working families
Reading Horizons supports working families by offering a software component which allows students to work through the program entirely on their own. This allows students to improve their reading skills without the direct supervision of their parents. The software can be used by the child under the supervision of any caretaker. The reading program also supports working families with its low cost. Reading Horizons is a cheaper alternative to learning centers and tutors.
3. Keep children safe and healthy
Reading Horizons helps keep children safe and healthy by promoting the development of literacy. Studies have found that 68% of 4th grade students read below grade level and if these students fail to catch up they are at greater risk for: truancy, dropping out of school, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse and teenage pregnancy. Reading Horizons helps prevent the negative consequences of illiteracy by offering reading intervention for struggling readers.
4. Send young people back to school ready to learn
Reading Horizons sends students back to school ready to learn by helping them improve reading skills over the summer. Diligent users of Reading Horizons can improve 2-5 reading levels in 3-6 months with the program. This allows struggling readers to return to school closer to the reading level of their peers and ready to learn new material instead of focusing on relearning skills from the previous school year.
