These solutions set a new standard for instructional continuity—empowering educators and improving outcomes for every student.

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 95 Percent Group LLC, the trusted source for comprehensive, proven literacy solutions, today introduced new, tiered solutions within its One95 Literacy Ecosystem™ to address the most pressing instructional challenges at each tier of instruction, helping districts accelerate literacy growth and close achievement gaps.

Based in the science of reading, these solutions integrate complementary resources to optimize literacy instruction, practice, assessment, and intervention. Shared routines, language, and strategies between solutions foster cohesive instruction across tiers, enabling district leaders, building leaders, literacy specialists, and teachers to better support all students.

"We're proud to offer the continuity of instruction across tiers that makes teaching and learning easier and more effective for both educators and students," said Jennifer Harris, Chief Product Officer, 95 Percent Group. "Our goal is to empower educators to help every student catch up to grade level and develop into literate citizens in the most efficient way possible."

95 Tier 1 Phonics Solution is a powerful combination of exceptional phonics instruction and purposeful practice activities, resulting in a turnkey, easy-to-use solution for core instruction. Proven to improve K–5 reading outcomes and reduce the need for intervention, the solution integrates 95 Phonics Core Program®—explicit, evidence-based instruction building critical phonics skills in just 30 minutes a day—with Sortegories™ by 95 Percent Group, a teacher-directed digital tool that delivers aligned practice from sound to syntax. The solution offers teachers a research-backed formula to help students master phonics, accelerate literacy skills, and reduce the need for intervention.

95 Tier 2 Phonics Solution brings assessments, grouping, instruction, and practice into one place so educators have everything they need to deliver effective, evidence-based intervention and help students in grades 1 through 8 quickly move out of intervention and develop as strong readers. The solution includes access to 95 Literacy Intervention System™, which digitizes assessments, automates grouping, and delivers actionable analytics, and 95 Phonics Lesson Library™ 2.0, a flexible resource with exciting new digital innovations for targeted intervention instruction. Through the dynamic combination of digital assessment, automated grouping, and precise instructional recommendations, educators can quickly identify and close skill gaps so students at any grade or skill level can achieve reading proficiency and discover the joy of reading.

95 Tier 3 Phonics Solution is designed to help educators identify and target foundational skill gaps, supporting students who need intensive support, including those with dyslexia. Leveraging 95 RAP™, it offers a tech-enabled, teacher-directed solution for intensive intervention. Fast-paced small-group activities, robust data tracking, and activity management allow teachers to monitor progress in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension, providing direct, mastery-based instruction. The solution also includes high-quality professional learning to prepare teachers to deliver intensive reading intervention effectively across diverse educational settings.

"We went all in with 95 Percent Group's Tier 1 and Tier 2 phonics solutions when we saw the alignment, and consistency of language, strategies, and skills that the students were learning," said Ann Foster, elementary curriculum coordinator, Lexington Public Schools in Lexington, Nebraska. "That really is the secret sauce. That is where children start to grow. I am so excited for the initial data we are getting from our students. We are seeing tremendous growth."
