Intervention
Explore insights, resources, and research to help you get students reading on grade level.
Why would a large school district like Bozeman adopt Top 10 Tools?
Now teachers are empowered, saying, ‘I know this group of kids is struggling with this phonics pattern and we’re honing in on that.’ Or ‘I know these kids are struggling with language and academic vocabulary. We’re going to focus on that.’

Featured insights
We were struggling with moving our students forward using the tools we had. We had heard about a neighboring district who was using 95 Percent Group products and visited their classrooms to see it in action. It was terrific to see what strong intervention really looks like.

Spotlight Texas: Southside Independent School District
Southside Independent School District is in the southside of the city of San Antonio, Texas, and serves more than 5,000 students, including those in their four elementary schools and one early childhood center. It is a Title 1 district, designed to help underserved students meet state academic content and performance standards.
This one student came in not knowing any letters and sounds. In October 2021, he started using 95 Percent Group’s instructional material and his reading just took off. He went through leaps and bounds.

How to help a child with dyslexia read
One of the most important steps in making sure children with dyslexia receive effective reading instruction is understanding these two truths: reading well with dyslexia is challenging and also very possible. The International Dyslexia Association speculates that about 15-20% of the population shows signs of dyslexia–though many will never have a diagnosis. Teaching reading to students with dyslexia means focusing on instruction that is structured, sequential, and highly multisensory in order to increase the chance of retention.
Teaching in a classroom filled with students that learn differently and have varying needs is already challenging. This is why it’s important to identify accommodations or strategies teachers can use to support children with dyslexia that are reasonable and not overwhelming.

In higher education as well as my classes for certification, there was never a focus on HOW students learn to read and the processes in the brain. Through this Science of Reading training, I was able to have a better understanding of how students scientifically learn to read.
