• 95 Literacy Intervention System is a digital system that integrates diagnostic assessments, automated grouping tools, and instructional resources into one powerful system designed to ensure each student gets the right instruction at the right time. Identifying and closing skill gaps early is critical and provides a strong foundation for reading success. With this system, teachers can quickly diagnose phonemic awareness and phonics skill deficits, automatically group students at similar skill levels, and clearly see each student’s progress across 15 key skills. Centralized analytics at the student, school, and district level support enhanced collaboration and provide a 360-degree view into what’s working for each student.
• 95 RAP is an intensive, small group reading intervention that integrates a structured approach to instruction, smart technology, and personalized teacher professional development. It is a fast-paced, easy-to-use solution for keeping students engaged and teachers informed with real-time data to personalize instruction. This individualized, small group reading intervention program is designed for intervention-resistant readers. Backed by comprehensive professional learning, the direct, explicit, mastery-based instruction supports progress in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
• Designed to help educators build their understanding of the science of reading, Top 10 Tools by 95 Percent Group is a compact, asynchronous, and comprehensive suite of professional learning tools that covers both what to teach and how to teach it.
