Frederick Elementary, a high-needs rural school in Oklahoma, is seeing remarkable reading success through data-driven instruction and early intervention. By closely tracking student progress and using flexible small-group strategies, nearly 60% of fifth graders reached English proficiency—well above the state average. The school credits structured programs like 95 Percent Group’s phonics intervention for supporting struggling readers, highlighting the tangible impact of evidence-based instruction in real classrooms.

The 95 Readables nonfiction series is part of the complete 95 Readables line in the One95 Literacy Ecosystem™, which includes a fiction series for Tier 1 in grades 2–5 and Tier 2 in grades 6–8.

The district has been working to improve student literacy over the past few years. Its goal is to have 90% of third-grade students reach or exceed reading literacy benchmarks by June 2028. To do that, the district implemented new reading programs for K-3 students last year: 95 Percent Group’s Tier 1, 2, & 3 and Wit and Wisdom.

At Impact Public Schools, 85 % of kindergarteners met their literacy goals this year—far ahead of national averages—thanks to early screening and targeted instruction supported by 95 Percent Group assessments and science-based reading practices.

Snoqualmie Valley’s new Early Learning Center is helping preschoolers build the skills they need for kindergarten—and 95 Percent Group’s phonics program is a big part of it. Already seeing strong results in SVSD elementary schools, this research-backed curriculum gives kids a familiar, science-of-reading–aligned foundation for literacy success.
