Structured literacy programs
95 Percent Group’s structured literacy programs are evidence-based in their approach and provide prescriptive, explicit, and systematic instruction in the critical foundational literacy skills.
Structured literacy programs for every tier of instruction
Tier 1: Core Instruction
Students need explicit, systematic phonics instruction and practice to achieve reading success. Our 95 Tier 1 Phonics Solution is easy to use, and proven to reduce the need for intervention.
Tier 2: Intervention
Assessments, grouping, instruction and practice all in one place to move students out of intervention quickly and develop strong readers.
Tier 3: Intensive Intervention
Identify and target foundational skill gaps to overcome barriers for students who need extra support, including those with dyslexia.
Spotlight Washington: Closing gaps with structured literacy
I was in one of our 4th grade classrooms yesterday taking some photos and capturing some student voices, and kids were throwing around phrases like ‘where’s the syllabic boundary?’ All I could think was, ‘OK, I’m loving this!’
Abbey Espeguard Instructional coach, West Mercer Elementary
One of the most effective tools that we’re using in Fulton County Schools is 95 Phonics Core Reading Program. That has been a game changer for our students and for our teachers. Honestly, if I tried to remove that program from our teachers’ hands these days, they would fight me. And when I go into classrooms, I see students learning at levels that they haven’t learned in previous years. It’s truly been transformational.

Scarborough’s Reading Rope: A practical guide for building skilled readers
A post from our Literacy Learning: Science of reading blog series written by teachers, for teachers, this series provides educators with the knowledge and best practices needed to sharpen their skills and bring effective science of reading-informed strategies to the classroom.
The upper strands of the rope are never fully complete; we continue to develop these over time as we have life experiences. These are skills that we continue to develop over time. Even as adults, we’re still developing background knowledge in certain topics and improving vocabulary. The upper strands will constantly grow as we become more skilled readers.

Four keys to unlocking literacy across tiers of instruction
I am SO excited for the initial data we are getting from our students. We are seeing tremendous growth. The consistency from Tier 1 to Tier 2 is unparalleled to anything we have ever used. We feel that’s the secret sauce. We are so grateful for this program!

80%
of early elementary teachers still encourage students to use pictures or context clues to identify unfamiliar words.
Phonics instruction is far from dull and dreary. Children love to learn about words and their hidden properties and patterns.
