Intensive intervention—delivered by teachers, supported by technology

Assessment, instruction, and management happen through 95 Reading Achievement Program (95 RAP™). Through technology, 95 RAP empowers teachers to deliver individualized instruction to K-12 students in a small group setting.

Through fast-paced and motivating small group activities, as well as robust data and activity management, 95 RAP helps teachers track individual student progress in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension—so they can provide the direct, explicit mastery-based instruction for readers who need extra support.

See 95 RAP in action

Each 95 RAP lesson incorporates seven integrated components, including short bursts of instruction within the larger block. The 95 RAP app provides clear and consistent daily structure and calculates the mastery of concepts every step of the way—allowing the teacher to focus on providing high-quality instruction that improves student outcomes.

Trusted and grounded in science

Influenced by the Orton-Gillingham approach, 95 Tier 3 Literacy Solution enables teachers to deliver multi-sensory instruction in 40-minute blocks, 4-5 days a week.

Differentiates student placement in the curriculum and carefully monitors student progress in real time.

Guides teachers through instruction while allowing for teacher judgment and flexibility.

Records student responses daily to document mastery before advancing to a higher-level skill.

Centers student-teacher interaction on clear, explicit corrective feedback and positive reinforcement.

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.

95 RAP shines a light on Tier 3 literacy intervention in North Carolina

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.
