In a bold step toward eradicating illiteracy, Reading Horizons announced it will provide educators across the United States with free access to its Reading Horizons® Discovery (RHD) LIVE Teacher Edition License—a classroom-ready research-backed instructional platform. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to ensuring every teacher has access to high-quality structured literacy tools, regardless of school or district resources.
For more than 40 years, Reading Horizons has empowered educators with teacher-first resources and technology designed to simplify reading instruction. The company’s Structured Literacy approach is grounded in research and has helped millions of students build the foundational skills they need to become proficient readers.
The RHD LIVE Teacher Edition License provides educators instant access to the program’s digital lessons without the need for student accounts, rosters, or administrative setup. Teachers can begin delivering effective reading instruction immediately, removing implementation barriers and supporting real-world classroom needs.
Free Teacher Access Includes:
- Evidence-based, systematic instruction for grades K–3, with detailed and easy-to-follow lesson plans
- Real-time Coaching videos, instructional summaries, and modeling for every lesson.
- A ready-to-teach dashboard with no prep or tech setup required.
- Guided onboarding emails, embedded video walkthroughs, Help Center access, and a comprehensive digital support library.
“Of all the programs we use, Reading Horizons is by far the easiest for our new teachers to pick up and run with.”
— Zully Fernandez, Chief Academic Officer, Bronx, NY
