Case Study: Flagstaff Unified School District improves phonics instruction and student literacy outcomes with 95 Percent Group's 95 Phonics Core Program

Flagstaff Unified School District boosts phonics instruction across 10 schools with 95 Percent Group

Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) serves a diverse student population with a high percentage of Title I students. The district identified gaps in its Tier 1 literacy program, specifically a lack of strong phonics instruction, which was reflected in their aimswebPlus assessment scores. To address this challenge, FUSD selected 95 Percent Group Inc. and piloted their 95 Phonics Core Program.

The solution from 95 Percent Group Inc. provided an evidence-based phonics supplement that was explicit, sequential, systematic, and comprehensive. This implementation was supported by district-wide science of reading training. The program successfully helped close phonics knowledge gaps for students, leading to improved literacy outcomes as measured by their benchmark and progress monitoring tools.
