Schechter, Rachel L.; Lynch, Alicia D.
Online Submission
LXD Research analyzed data from over 3,200 students in grades K-2 who participated in using the 95 Phonics Core Program in a school district in MO during 2021-2022. The demographic breakdown of this sample included 75% White students, 23% Low Income students, 9% ESL students, 13% SPED students. Schools in the district were paired for similar ELA scores in Spring 2021, and then randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. Students in the 95 Phonics Core Program used the program every day for about 30 minutes during the daily reading block and teachers received the beginning of the year training with two question-answer sessions every few months. 95PCP schools outperformed students in the control group schools who did not receive the 95 Phonics Core Program, according to the Acadience Reading assessment. Students in each grade K-2 had statistically significant findings on either the composite score or a subtest score. The findings and rigorous study design provide support for the 95 Phonics Core Program as a comprehensive program that meets the criteria for ESSA Level 1. [95 Percent Group partnered with LXD Research to conduct this evaluation.]
