Flexibility that maximizes instructional impact

One size has never fit all in education — and this is particularly true in literacy instruction. 95 Tier 1 Phonics Solution empowers teachers to deliver instruction in whole group and small group formats, which is then followed by individualized, teacher-directed practice.
