Case Study: Joplin Schools advances phonics instruction and intervention with 95 Percent Group Inc.

Joplin Schools unifies phonics instruction for 7,800 students with 95 Percent Group Inc.

Joplin Schools, a large rural district in southwest Missouri facing challenges similar to an urban district, sought to improve its phonics instruction. With a high student transiency rate and a diverse student body speaking 39 languages, teachers were frustrated by inconsistencies in identifying student needs after LETRS™ training. This grassroots teacher-led movement brought in 95 Percent Group Inc. to implement the 95 Literacy Intervention System™.

The solution from 95 Percent Group provided a cohesive, digital phonics program that connected assessment with precise instruction and data-driven monitoring. This gave the district a unified view of student data, allowing teachers to effectively put their science of reading training into action.
