For grades K-3, Horizons Phonics & Reading is a phonetic-based word-recognition and early reading program.

With a strong emphasis on comprehension and language arts skills, this Christian homeschool curriculum teaches students to identify the name and sounds of each letter through picture associations from the sequential alphabet story.

Filled with fundamental lessons, Horizons Phonics & Reading covers spelling, alphabetizing, rhyming, vocabulary development, sentence structure, phrases, and the parts of speech. Fun, hands-on activities are included to develop penmanship skills.

The seven major themes covered are phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, text comprehension, spelling, and penmanship.
