Where Reading Science Meets Hands‑On Discovery.
Each module delivers 4–6 hours of instructional time and is available in two versions
SPARK CURIOSITY.
FUEL LITERACY.
The Challenges Educators Face Every Day.
Reading scores are declining. Teachers are stretched thin. Too often, instruction doesn’t stick because it doesn’t provide students with real-world connections.
Meanwhile, educators are being asked to do more with less: teach phonics with fidelity, integrate STEM, close learning gaps, and keep students engaged.
I don’t have the time to plan another program
Teachers need solutions that are ready to teach with little or no prep time.
My students tune out during reading intervention
Traditional phonics instruction can feel repetitive. Students need a reason to pay attention.
We can’t afford separate literacy and stem programs
Budgets are tight. Schools need one solution that checks multiple boxes.

Hands-On Literacy is a five-module K-6 program that combines Reading Horizons’ research-backed phonics instruction with Central Creativity’s hands-on STEM activities.
The result? A multi-sensory learning experience where students build foundational reading skills while exploring real-world science and engineering challenges.
Available in two grade-band versions
- K–2 for early readers building foundational phonics skills
- 3–6 for older students who still need decoding and fluency support in an age-appropriate format

“My students were so engaged they didn’t even realize they were practicing phonics. They just thought they were scientists.”
“I opened the box and was teaching in five minutes. That’s never happened with any other program.”
This is exactly what we needed – one program that supports our reading goals AND our STEM goals, without doubling the budget.
