morpheme magic: lessons to build morphological awareness grades 4-12 and morphemes for little ones: bringing the magic of language into k-3 classrooms join the one95 literacy ecosystem

lincolnshire, il & boise, id – feb. 7, 2024 – 95 韩国vs葡萄牙欧赔 , the trusted source for comprehensive, proven literacy solutions, today announced the acquisition of morpheme magic, a company founded by deborah r. glaser, ed.d., to help learners build morphological awareness. morphological awareness is the ability to recognize, understand and use the units of meaning that make up words, helping build student reading comprehension skills.

“morphological awareness plays an important role in helping learners decode, build reading fluency and comprehension skills and develop a strong vocabulary. research shows that morphological awareness is a strong contributor to reading proficiency,” said laura stewart, chief academic officer, 95 percent group. “the resources that dr. glaser created for morpheme magic provide teachers with the tools they need to enhance student growth in this important area of literacy skill development.”

morpheme magic’s two supplemental curriculum offerings are morpheme magic: lessons to build morphological awareness grades 4-12 and morphemes for little ones: bringing the magic of language into k-3 classrooms, complementing the morphology lessons included in 95 percent group’s flagship 95 phonics core program®. morpheme magic: lessons to build morphological awareness for grades 4-12 features 53 lessons, including assessments, covering suffixes, prefixes, roots, and greek combining forms. morphemes for little ones k-3 provides systematic, structured literacy lessons to help teachers teach morphological awareness appropriately to students.

“more than 40 states have recognized the power of the science of reading by adopting policies that support helping readers build the foundations and advanced skills of language in a structured progression” said brad lindaas, ceo, 95 percent group. “to provide teachers with the resources they need to successfully implement this proven approach, we are continuing to grow our literacy ecosystem through product development and acquisitions of high-quality resources. morpheme magic provides a powerful supplement for addressing this important component of literacy development with learners.”

“i founded morpheme magic in response to teachers who told me that they knew morphological awareness was important but were not sure how to teach it,” said dr. glaser, who also created top 10 tools a comprehensive science of reading course, part of 95 percent group’s 2023 acquisition of tools for reading. “95 percent group is the perfect new home for morpheme magic as it will integrate seamlessly into the one95™ literacy ecosystem™ and empower even more teachers around the country with a trusted, proven approach to foundational reading skills.”

teachers have reported that morpheme magic resources give them the confidence they need to teach this morphological awareness.

lincolnshire, il– january 17, 2024 – one95™ literacy ecosystem™ from 95 韩国vs葡萄牙欧赔 , the trusted source for proven literacy solutions, was honored with an excellence in equity award from the american consortium for equity in education. honored as the best literacy solution, the one95 literacy ecosystem is a comprehensive literacy toolkit that is based on the science of reading and proven to advance reading skills in students from diverse backgrounds, grades, and abilities.

honoring the industry contributors — companies, products, leaders, nonprofits and more — whose work supports success and equitable achievement for educators and students, the excellence in equity awards were created to acknowledge, spotlight, and celebrate high-impact work across k-12 education, as well as expand and enhance the discussion around educational equity.

the one95 literacy ecosystem integrates evidence-based products and professional learning resources into one cohesive system of print materials and digital tools that empower educators with easy-to-use assessments and instructional methods and provide students with consistent learning routines. it features solutions for tiers of instruction in grades k-5 and beyond, all aligned with mtss/rti frameworks.

“ensuring equity in literacy instruction is at the core of 95 percent group’s mission. we provide teachers with the knowledge, tools, and support to empower all students to learn to read,” said brad lindaas, ceo, 95 percent group. “receiving this award recognizing that our products are helping educators ensure that literacy education is equitable is a wonderful way to start the new year.”

among the school districts across the country that have used the one95 literacy ecosystem to level the playing field for building student literacy skills is fulton county schools, located just outside atlanta. a diverse school district with 74 percent minority enrollment, fulton county was determined to improve their students’ literacy rates.

the district turned away from the hodgepodge of balanced literacy programs it had been using and embraced the evidence-based literacy instruction the one95 literacy ecosystem provides across all tiers of instruction. using resources from the literacy ecosystem, such as 95 phonics core program® and 95 vocabulary surge–unleashing the power of word parts™, students in grades k-5 have received explicit, systematic, and cumulative instruction that has supported accelerated improvement.

in five short months, students who could barely read made significant progress, reached grade level, and acquired an insatiable appetite for reading. classes that were scoring at 63 percent proficient are now scoring at or above 92 percent; teachers are seeing 30-point gains in the phonics domain, with noticeable results across writing, spelling, and reading comprehension.

fifth grade teacher nicola johnson praised the rigor of the one95 literacy ecosystem, believing it has been a game changer. “i come into the classroom and make sure that my scholars can exceed their own expectations—every single day,” she said. “especially as brown and black boys and girls, their expectation is that ‘we’re not learning, we’re not going anywhere.’ and if there is a teacher that has explicit modeling and an explicit curriculum that allows for that learning and expectation to be exceeded…they can do anything.”

today, 95 percent group llc, the trusted source for proven literacy solutions, unveiled 95 phonemic awareness suite™, a comprehensive program for developing awareness of speech sounds for students in grades k-1. aligned with the latest research on phonemic awareness and part of the one95™ literacy ecosystem™, the new suite includes core and intervention lessons, intervention tools, assessments and teacher professional learning.

building phonemic awareness means developing the understanding that spoken words are made up of specific sounds, called phonemes. the focus of phonemic awareness is on those sounds, but recent research reports that good phonemic awareness instruction makes the critical connection to the grapheme—a letter or group of letters—that represents the sound. the 95 phonemic awareness suite is a prime example of this research brought to life in the classroom.

“building a foundation in the ways that written words connect to spoken words begins with phonemic awareness.  phonemic awareness is essential for developing literacy skills and a strong predictor of reading success,” said laura stewart, chief academic officer, 95 percent group. “our new 95 phonemic awareness suite is grounded in the current research on phonemic awareness, providing teachers with an evidence-based, comprehensive program that will help young learners develop a foundation for becoming proficient readers.”

95 phonemic awareness suite gives teachers the full array of tools they need to help k-1 students master critical skills. at the core of the suite is 95 pocket pa™, which provides teachers with lessons to develop students’ phonemic awareness in just 10 minutes per day. 95 pocket pa includes 50 weeks of lessons for tier 1 students, including digital presentation files and articulation videos.

providing additional support for students in need of intervention (tier 2), 95 phonemic awareness intervention resource™ (pair) is aligned with pocket pa, supporting a seamless transition to intervention that is based in familiar routines and instructional dialogue. intervention resources include a teacher’s guide, kid lips cards, sound spelling cards and a student manipulatives kit.

teachers can pinpoint student skill gaps and differentiate instruction with 95 phonemic awareness suite’s easy-to-administer assessment, 95 phonemic awareness screener for intervention™. digital assessments are delivered over the new one95 literacy platform.

in addition, the suite provides professional learning for teachers, equipping them with knowledge and best practices grounded in the latest research on phonological processing, phonology and phonetics; training on implementing the suite in the classroom; and a practice-informed, follow-up session on acting on assessment data.

“this is the phonemic awareness suite every school needs to help young learners grow into readers,” said jennifer harris, chief product officer, 95 percent group. “it is intentionally designed to be easy-to-use, fun and engaging, comprehensive, and effective for all students including those with language variations.”

developed and priced for classroom purchase, an exclusive three-week free trial of 95 phonemic awareness suite is available to any educator who attends the free webinar, “introducing 95 phonemic awareness suite: shining the light on research-based phonemic awareness instruction,” on thursday, november 2 or wednesday, november 8 at 6:30 p.m. ct. during the webinar, 95 percent group’s chief academic officer laura stewart and director of product management lia ferro will discuss the latest research on the importance of phonemic awareness and how 95 phonemic awareness suite was developed to build strong foundational skills that are essential to becoming successful readers. for additional information on the new 95 phonemic awareness suite, read this q&a.

to earn this certification, 95 percent group submitted evidence to digital promise confirming the connection between learning sciences and the design of its multisyllable routine cards. in addition, the company demonstrated its commitment to making its robust research base accessible to educators.

“there are more than 8,000 products used in k-12 schools and fewer than 1 percent have earned this recognition,” said rachel schechter, phd, learning experience design (lxd) research, who helped prepare the application.

“educators and researchers continue to uncover important insights about how people learn,” said christina luke luna, chief learning officer, pathways and credentials at digital promise. “digital promise’s research-based design product certification recognizes the edtech products that incorporate research about learning into their design and development. congratulations to 95 percent group for demonstrating that research informs product design.”

the research-based design product certification uses a competency-based learning framework, developed in consultation with digital promise’s learner variability project advisory board, expert researchers in the learning sciences field, and nearly 50 educators across the united states.

through product certifications, educators can narrow their options as they select products based on research about learning before trying them out in their classrooms. digital promise launched the research-based design product certification in february 2020, certifying more than 60 products to date.

dysart unified school district is using 95 percent group programs

read on for an excerpt from the original article. to access the full article, see it here.

data snapshot:

• 48% to 64% of students were below benchmarks.
• after the implementation, that number was reduced 23% to 44%, depending on the year.

dysart unified school district continues to work on closing learning gaps and is making progress.

several years ago, the district governing board approved the implementation of 95 percent group’s literacy programs, which are evidence-based, instructional learning products, according to the website.

shelley isai, assistant superintendent for education services, said the program is clinically researched and based on standards and skills both with traditional and direct instruction as a scripted program.

she said this ensures continuity of instruction so that it is applied at all campuses using this program. secondly the teachers review the plans and use the research-based way to explain it to students to understand.

isai said there are student manipulatives involved and watching students use this program individuals would be moving around chips to substitute different letters. helping the students to see, say and feel the word will help the learning process.

isai said students learn phonological awareness, how to read sounds, six syllable types, onset rhymes—which are standards on state testing—and 95 percent group hit them all.

she said this program allows them to use a screener and dig down to where the difficulty is whether it is with letter sounds or blends and gives specific data on kids, which enables teachers to make intelligent decisions based on data when forming small groups. then every three weeks students are reassessed to where they each fall and are moved based on the skills.

“in 2021-22 we noticed our kids coming in with big gaps because when you do kindergarten and first online you only hope for great instruction and all of my kids will be attentive. and we did phonics-based instruction to make up the deficit,” isai said…

lincolnshire, ill. – may 31, 2023 – educators work hard during the school year to provide students with the instruction and practice they need to become strong readers. with the end of the school year, they’re concerned about the dreaded “summer slide,” which can result in students losing progress in reading.

a new, independent report written by learning experience design (lxd) research demonstrates that using a structured literacy program throughout the school year can decrease summer learning loss, reducing the need for intervention the following school year. this was the result for elementary students in lexington, nebraska, and it builds the case for investing in a high-quality, evidence-based structured literacy program for the 2023-2024 school year.

during the 2021-2022 school year studied, elementary students at lexington public schools learned with programs from 95 percent group’s one95™ literacy ecosystem. rising 1st and 2nd graders experienced a 63 percent decrease in lost reading skills compared to the previous summer. the results for rising third graders were even more significant—their summer slide decreased by 200 percent. this means that not only did they retain more information than they had the previous summer, but they also had higher reading scores at the beginning of third grade than at the end of second grade. these study results underscore the importance of implementing a strong, evidence-based tier 1 and intervention program that aligns with the science of reading research.

lexington public schools is a small district with three title i elementary schools and a dual-language school. first and second grades have just over 300 students, 86 percent of whom are socio-economically disadvantaged and 75 percent whose home language is not english.

rigorous independent efficacy research confirms phonics program accelerates reading improvement for all k-2 students

lincolnshire, il – april 16, 2023 – 95 韩国vs葡萄牙欧赔 , the trusted source for comprehensive, proven literacy solutions, today announced that its 95 phonics core program® is now listed as strong on the evidence for essa website for tier 1, whole-class instruction. the strong rating confirms that the program’s research meets federal standards under the every student succeeds act (essa) for demonstrating the highest level of evidence.

based at johns hopkins university’s center for research and reform in education, evidence for essa was established following the 2015 congressional approval of the federal act and provides independent, authoritative information on program research that meets the essa evidence standards. as a leading resource in the field, the website enables educators and communities to select effective instructional tools to improve student outcomes.

“at 95 percent group, we make a deep investment in research both to inform the development of our offerings and to demonstrate their efficacy to educators around the country,” said brad lindaas, chief executive officer. “this recognition from evidence for essa further validates what we have seen clearly in schools and districts. our 95 phonics core program is an effective, efficient, and joyful method for supporting all children in reading improvement and for helping them pursue a literate life.”

the independent efficacy study that earned the 95 phonics core program evidence for essa approval was conducted by an independent research firm, learning experience design research and consulting (lxd research), in partnership with fort zumwalt school district r-ii, in o’fallon, missouri. fourteen schools with more than 3,000 k-2 students participated during the 2021-2022 school year. the study, which met essa level 1 strong criteria, demonstrated that the program resulted in literacy gains for all students learning with the 95 phonics core program, compared to randomly selected control students that did not use the program. evidence for essa evaluates studies submitted against a set of rigorous criteria; studies must be scientifically robust and show a significant impact on student outcomes to be accepted.

lxd research founder rachel schechter, ph.d., explained, “95 percent group products are grounded in the science of learning and this is an important recognition of that. our research affirmed that the uniquely paced instructional routines and multisensory strategies of the 95 phonics core program established a solid phonics foundation for k-2 students, accelerating literacy skill development across all demographic groups. importantly teachers expressed high satisfaction with the quality and usefulness of the program resources, indicating they increased student engagement and facilitated learning.”

today too many children are behind in developing literacy skills. in the u.s., 65 percent of fourth graders scored basic or below basic levels in reading, according to the most recent national assessment of educational progress. while many factors contribute to low reading achievement, nearly every child can learn to read with evidence-based instruction. the goal is for about 80 to 85 percent of the class to be taught well in tier 1, which means fewer children require intervention in tiers 2 and 3.

95 phonics core program is a whole-class, tier 1 program that is based upon 95 percent group’s structured literacy instructional approach. it is now available to support students in their literacy journey throughout their critical k-5 years. teachers credit the program with improved student development for skills such as demonstrating phonics patterns, understanding of text, writing word chains, and blending cvc words.

as one veteran teacher from the study said, “my kindergarteners can decode words better than any year i’ve ever taught. no matter what i tried in the past, it was never a consistent program where i knew i was hitting everything in a strategic way. and i’m telling you, they are reading better than they ever have. i feel like they are so much further ahead of where i have sent kids headed to first grade before.”
