Case Study: Glen Rose Independent School District boosts literacy outcomes with 95 Percent Group’s structured literacy solutions

Glen Rose Independent School District boosts second graders to 85% Tier 1 literacy with 95 Percent Group Inc.

Glen Rose Independent School District, a small rural district in Texas, faced a challenge due to a new state mandate requiring a shift to phonics-based reading instruction. They were also seeing a real lack of growth in reading skills among their students. To address this, they partnered with 95 Percent Group Inc. and implemented its Phonics Core Program™ for whole-class instruction, along with its Phonological Awareness and Phonics Screeners for Intervention™.

The solution from 95 Percent Group provided the explicit teaching practices and progress monitoring the district required. The results were significant, with the percentage of at-risk readers dropping dramatically across kindergarten, first, and second grades. By the end of the year, over 85% of second graders were in Tier 1 whole-class instruction. The district credited 95 Percent Group's cohesive ecosystem of products for the efficient and successful outcome.
