95 Phonics Lesson Library 2.0, the market leader in phonics intervention, now reimagined with digital capabilities; literacy practice tool Sortegories by 95 Percent Group launches
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today 95 Percent Group LLC , the trusted source for comprehensive, proven literacy solutions, announced new digital innovations to empower teachers and schools with leading-edge resources that enhance and streamline instruction based on the science of reading. The company launched 95 Phonics Lesson Library 2.0™, a new version of the Evidence for ESSA-listed resource that now connects seamlessly to 95 Literacy Intervention System™, and its digital literacy practice tool, Sortegories™ by 95 Percent Group.
"District leaders are asking us for more digital options that are easy-to-use, effective, and efficient in empowering teachers to develop proficient readers. We are steadfast in our commitment to meeting their needs and unlocking literacy for every child," said Brad Lindaas, CEO, 95 Percent Group. "We believe that the teacher belongs at the center of instruction and our digital strategy reflects that. As we expand our digital offerings, the goal is to integrate into the One95 Literacy Ecosystem the most innovative technology available for amplifying instruction, maximizing our print resources and, ultimately, strengthening student outcomes."
District leaders' requests for digital options is part of a growing trend. In a recent literacy survey conducted by Tyton Partners, schools and districts responded that 47 percent of their delivery format in Tier 2 literacy instruction would include mostly or fully digital solutions in 2023-2024, and that their use of digital solutions would grow to 68 percent over the next three years.
95 Phonics Lesson Library 2.0 includes everything teachers know and love about the proven intervention solution, enhanced by an array of both digital and print tools that make it even easier for them to set-up and deliver instruction and monitor progress. As the instructional component of the award-winning 95 Literacy Intervention System™, the company's digital system for powering evaluation and intervention within a classroom, grade, or school, 95 Phonics Lesson Library 2.0 increases instructional flexibility with options such as digital presentation files and Student Activity Modules. The complete system provides teachers with a connected, end-to-end phonics intervention solution to help them meet each child's needs and graduate students from intervention as swiftly as possible.
Another powerful addition to the One 95 Literacy Ecosystem™, Sortegories by 95 Percent Group is a digital literacy practice tool that pairs with any core literacy curriculum, including 95 Phonics Core Program®, providing K-3 students with purposeful practice opportunities. It promotes integrated decoding, vocabulary, morphology, and syntax skill development for emerging readers as well as for students who lack accurate and fluent word recognition. The digital practice tool is easy for teachers to implement and integrates all layers of language, from sound to syntax, into student practice. Sortegories by 95 Percent Group features engaging activities to grow student skills, while making practice fun, and a feedback loop that helps them understand their mistakes and make continued progress.
Educators at schools and districts who are using 95 Percent Group's evidence-based literacy solutions have discovered that 95 Literacy Intervention System is a powerful system for realizing better intervention outcomes. After just a short period, literacy specialists at Joplin, Missouri's 10 elementary schools all reported that the system made assessments a much more efficient process, offering teachers targeted information about what students need to work on.
Libbie Burd, coordinator of elementary curriculum and instruction for the district, said, "We were having trouble organizing our data within the framework of our data warehouse. So, 95 Literacy Intervention System really struck a chord for us with the way we can now see and easily track data and progress—across the whole district—in one place."
Free trials of 95 Phonics Lesson Library 2.0 and sampling for each level of Sortegories are available now. Both are available for purchase and ready to be implemented for the 2025−2026 school year.
