The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted educational outcomes, including reading achievement in grades 3-5, particularly in schools primarily serving high-poverty communities of color. This study evaluates the 95 Phonics Lesson Library (95 PLL), a targeted phonics intervention program, in a low socio-economic status, ethnically diverse, midwestern school district during the 2023-2024 school year. Using a quasi-experimental design, this study compares reading outcomes of fourth and fifth graders using 95 PLL with a similar comparison group of fourth and fifth graders. Acadience Reading and NWEA MAP Growth assessments showed significant growth in reading scores for 95 PLL students relative to the comparison group, especially among the fifth grade students. Supported by positive educator perceptions, these findings demonstrate 95 PLL's potential to enhance reading achievement and close academic gaps.
