95% group phonics lessons

by Sara S.

Jun 22, 2010

Hello everyone,

I am a 1-2 reading teacher in southern Illinois. After attending some workshops and doing some reading, I have decided that I want to begin using the 95% group with my Tier 3 students.

I have tryed to start writing the phonics blueprint lesson plans, but I feel like I am in over my head with this.

Have any of you written these plans and could maybe give me some pointers on how to do it?

The biggest snafu I am hitting is the decodable passages. I was planning on using passages from the basal series we use (Storytown) and Reading A-Z. However, they don't seem to match up very well with what prior skills were taught.

If anyone can give me advice or just be an ear for me to complain to now and then, I could really use the help!

Sara S.

Grace/IL Hi Sara,

I, too, would like to know a bit more about what you want to accomplish. I did a search for 95% phonics and came up with almost nothing. Is this a new concept (rerouting of something that's been around forever)in the scheme of things?

There are lots of phonics programs available but few that are really carefully designed ...See More

Jenn Hi Sara ~

I too have done a lot of research into phonics and decoding programs over the years, but never heard about 95%. I have used Wilson and can testify to that, but my favorites are ABeCeDarian ([link removed].

Sorry I can't be of more help!

Christy Grace, I think she may be referring the the 95% Group. I think they are related in some way to the DIBELS assessments. Susan Hall, who wrote "I've Dibeled, Now What" which suggests interventions to correlate with DIBELS is the founder of the company. They offer a "Blueprints for Phonics" product that provides the outline for phonics interventions, ...See More

Sara S. I am sorry that I wasn't more specific in my topic. Christy is correct, I was talking about the 95% Group. Although my school uses AIMS web and not Dibels.

Christy is correct, I was talking about the 95% Group. Although my school uses AIMS web and not Dibels. I thought this program was more popular than it obviously is. When I went to the NCLB conferene in Chicago this year, almost every group that spoke was using at least the Phonics Screener from 95% group.

I am not as freaked out as I was a week ago. My school district is thinking about buying the program so that the teachers do not have to make up the entire lessons themselves. Even if they do not purchase it this year, I think I am resourceful enough to "wing it" until they can purcahse it the following year.

No one here has ever used the 95% Group program? I think it is worth looking into. I have never actually tried it, and it basically isn't anything shockingly different than what I am sure all of us reading teachers are already doing it. It is just a slightly different approach.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to bookmark that "I am Sam" because it might come in handy in the near future.
