It’s such a great program. It’s very individualized so you don’t get caught up on any one skill. Each student has their own path, and if they get stuck or you notice they are slipping, you can add in materials or strategies for reteaching to help. It really fits the needs for Tier 3 intervention.

Experts corner: Champions for better, wiser Tier 3 instruction
Discover 95 RAP™ (teacher-led Tier 3 instruction for developing readers) and why educators love it. Note: it is proven to help accelerate reading improvement for students, and it also gives teachers valuable data on each student’s progress.
We’re always collecting data for the teacher, which provides a lift for them that they might not find in other programs where they’re having to track and collect that data and calculate mastery. The 95 RAP app is doing that for them.

Celebrating 95 RAP History
In January, 2023, 95 Percent Group announced the acquisition of the Hill Reading Achievement Program (HillRAP) from Hill Learning Center, an education nonprofit in Durham, North Carolina that has served students with learning and attention challenges for 45 years. Founded by George Watts Hill in 1977, Hill Learning Center has offered specialized support for students with learning differences as well as training, curriculum, and technology to make the program available to students and teachers everywhere. They have trained more than 4000 teachers across the US and around the world.
The Hill Reading Achievement Program—now 95 RAP—is based on the scientific understanding that for students who learn differently, reading must be taught systematically to effectively build their skills—and their confidence. It provides teachers with the data and tools they need to target instruction to a student’s specific needs and make effective use of limited instructional time.
Meets ESSA Level 3 evidence requirements & more
An independent research group reviewed all 95 RAP (formerly HillRAP) research to assess and align the studies with the evidence tiers described in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. And the growth is impressive.
