The lessons introduce reading and writing application tasks as the process for achieving automaticity of sound-to-grapheme connections.

“I am SO excited for the initial data we are getting from our students! We are seeing tremendous growth and we feel that the secret sauce is having students in 95 Phonics Core Program and 95 Percent Group Interventions (for those who need it). The consistency from core to intervention is unparalleled to anything we have ever used! We are so grateful for this program!!”

“My PLC teacher spends about 15 minutes a week reviewing the following week’s Phonics Core Program lessons during our PLC time. Because my team and I are so familiar with the strategies and procedures 95 Percent Group uses, we do not need to spend much time planning or preparing lessons. 95 Percent Group has done a great job doing that for us with the digital presentation slides on their website.”
Morgan Patrick, Loudon Elementary
Grade 3 Resources
In Grade 3, the program focuses on using the previously taught foundational phonemic awareness and phonics skills to build automaticity in reading multisyllable words in isolation and in text. Instruction centers on explicitly teaching the 6 syllable types as well as the morphological structures of words. Decoding and encoding application tasks ensure students have the word attack skills necessary for reading and writing text with increasing complexity.

Grade 4 and Grade 5
The Grade 4 and Grade 5 programs include authentic text based on engaging science, social studies, and pop culture topics to teach word attack strategies. The program uses explicitly designed word study routines, focusing on analyzing words using multisyllabic patterns and morphological structures to enhance students’ curiosity for words while building accuracy and fluency when reading grade-level text.
Research on reading instruction has been very clear for more than 20 years. The 95 Phonics Core Program that 95 Percent Group offers for grades K to 5 is the answer to general education, Tier 1, evidence-based systematic and direct literacy instruction that aligns with research. Our students have made substantial progress using the program.
