Smart Horizons Partners with Nemours to Launch Online Nemours BrightStart! Reading Readiness Program for Educators

Pensacola, FL (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

Smart Horizons, a leading provider of comprehensive online early childhood education programs, has partnered with Nemours, a leader in pediatric health systems, to create an online offering of the successful Nemours BrightStart! program available to early childhood caregivers and educators around the world.

The Nemours BrightStart! program was developed to address the growing occurrences of reading failure in groups of children around the nation. The ability to read with understanding is undeniably one of the most basic foundations children must have in order to be successful in school and beyond to adult life. Without this foundation, negative consequences can last a lifetime. With the help of educators and early learning specialists, Nemours BrightStart! has focused their vast array of scientific and clinical expertise on this crisis and has developed the Nemours BrightStart! educational intervention program.

Begun as a local initiative, the Nemours BrightStart! vision can now be realized on a much broader scale. Children who are evaluated and identified as being at risk for reading failure benefit from the early intervention teachers provide as a result of the training received from this multisensory program.

Studies have shown that when taught by teachers using Nemours BrightStart! curriculum, child outcomes exceed expectations. With the training for educators now available online through the partnership with Smart Horizons, teachers everywhere can make use of the tremendously successful curriculum.
