Tier 3 research

Take a closer look at the research and see how our Tier 3 solution helps teachers close the gap for readers requiring intensive support.

Effective, individualized instruction—backed by research

Multiple studies in North Carolina show how 95 RAPâ„¢ (formerly HillRAP) meets ESSA Level 3 evidence, with measurable reading gains even within a single year.

Impressive, consistent growth

Students showed accelerated gains in decoding, fluency, comprehension, and word recognition—exceeding typical year-to-year progress.

Supporting learning at all levels

95 RAP proved effective for students with disabilities, older students, English learners, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Immediate progress, potent momentum

Most learners saw substantial gains in the first year, with many achieving even greater growth when continuing 95 RAP for a second year.

Impact across grades and settings

In multiple counties and instructional environments spanning early elementary through middle school, 95 RAP delivered powerful results.

It’s such a great program. It’s very individualized so you don’t get caught up on any one skill. Each student has their own path, and if they get stuck or you notice they are slipping, you can add in materials or strategies for reteaching to help. It really fits the needs for Tier 3 intervention.

95 RAP shines a light on Tier 3 literacy intervention in North Carolina

It’s very systematic. It’s linear. They’re building on each skill, and if there was a digraph or a blend they struggled with, they are able to focus on that and then build from there.
