95 Phonics Core Program® is a Tier 1 structured literacy solution that provides explicit, systematic, and cumulative instruction across grades K-5. Grounded in the science of reading, the lessons are strategically designed to reduce or prevent intervention needs.

The 30-week Grade 1 program uses consistent routines, dialogues, phonics chip colors, and gestures to ensure student learning is focused on the content instead of varied instructional processes. Students will successfully identify, read, and write grade-level text using consistent, explicit lesson structures and teaching phonics skills in sequential order. The daily 30 minute lessons can be easily added to any required ELA core to achieve grade-level mastery.

Turnkey, Evidence-Based Phonics Solution

The grade-level kit includes everything a teacher needs to begin instruction quickly. 

Teacher's Edition with pre-written lessons and activities, guided opportunities for teacher modeling, and group and independent practice to help students achieve mastery. The lessons include easy-to-follow instructional dialogue based on a structured literacy approach to provide explicit teacher-directed instruction. Teaching tips and scripts embedded throughout the teacher guides also support educator pedagogy.

Student Workbooks and Manipulatives provide built-in practice opportunities to reinforce skills as they are being introduced and tools for hands-on sound-spelling mapping activities.

Sound Spelling Cards are provided to reinforce letter-sound associations. The 50 cards also include teaching tips on the back for articulation and word practice.

Digital Presentation for each daily lesson improves engagement and lesson pacing while modeling the guided practice, requiring zero teacher prep. The initial Grade 1 Classroom Kit purchase includes a one-year subscription. The subscription is renewable on a yearly basis.

Online Access to Ancillary Materials that are continuously updated and include decodable student stories, end-of-unit assessments for monitoring progress, classroom resources, family support letters, and access to the digital presentation files.
