Case Study: Franklin Special School District raises the bar with 95 Percent Group's explicit phonics instruction

Franklin Special School District strengthens K-2 phonics instruction with 95 Percent Group over 3 years

Franklin Special School District, a diverse K-8 district in Tennessee, faced a challenge with inconsistent foundational literacy instruction. Teachers were spending extra time piecing together materials to provide explicit phonics lessons, as their existing resources were not going deep enough to meet the needs of all students. They identified a need for a more structured and consistent K-2 phonics program.

The district implemented the 95 Phonics Core Program® from 95 Percent Group as a district-wide solution. After a successful pilot, the three-year implementation has led to teachers instructing with confidence and students becoming highly engaged. The district reports that the results are undeniable evidence that this explicit phonics approach works.
