Horse Powered Reading® integrates social-emotional learning with academics. This allows students to see and experience reading with their entire mind, body and emotions by creating metaphors for the skills involved in reading. Students interact with horses from the ground, while using toys and props to identify obstacles and learn five critical reading skills – phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Learning a few key reading skills combined with motivation, self-efficacy/confidence, and persistence, all of which are taught by the horses, helps create an exponential growth in learning.
