Case Study: Reading School District achieves scalable K–6 literacy growth with 95 Percent Group

Reading School District boosts K-6 literacy growth with 95 Percent Group

The Reading School District, facing persistently low third-grade reading proficiency despite existing interventions, partnered with vendor 95 Percent Group. Their challenge was a lack of concrete foundational skills instruction, insufficient phonics components, and unclear data points to guide instruction for their diverse student population.

The solution implemented by 95 Percent Group was the district-wide adoption of their Tier 1 Phonics Solution, including the 95 Phonics Core Program®, supported by professional learning and coaching. This aligned, systematic approach led to remarkable results: pilot schools ranked in the top five for growth, with one leading the district. Students demonstrated increased confidence and independent application of skills, and the initiative fostered a new culture of instructional coherence across the district.
