Experts corner: Champions for better, wiser Tier 3 instruction
Discover 95 RAP™ (teacher-led Tier 3 instruction for developing readers) and why educators love it. Note: it is proven to help accelerate reading improvement for students, and it also gives teachers valuable data on each student’s progress.
95 RAP is individualized so that students can move at their own pace. And I think that’s a key difference for RAP from other Tier 3 interventions. It’s the individual nature and the mastery model. Students within the group can move at their own pace.

Dr. Mike Looney, superintendent of Fulton County Schools, believes school districts and communities need to gather the best knowledge and best practices that exist in literacy today, and then work together to apply these methods in their instruction. For his team, this includes the science of reading and 95 Percent Group. Fulton County is ahead of the curve. Watch his video story below.
We have a roadmap. We can do it. Now it is just a matter of having the intestinal fortitude to make sure that, in every classroom across Fulton County and hopefully in every state in the nation, change is happening.

We were struggling with moving our students forward using the tools we had. We had heard about a neighboring district who was using 95 Percent Group products and visited their classrooms to see it in action. It was terrific to see what strong intervention really looks like.

Insights from Laura Stewart, CAO
Laura Stewart, Chief Academic Officer, is on a mission, and it’s an important one. Stewart says that children today are at risk of falling behind in school and life if they don’t learn to read proficiently by the end of third grade. Her goal is to help all children “flourish as literate citizens of the 21st century.”
