Promising Evidence ESSA Level III

Phonics, Reading and Me (PRM) demonstrated statistically significant impact on high utility phonics skill growth among K-3rd grade students in an evidence study conducted using LearnPlatform by Instructure resulting in Promising Evidence ESSA Level III.  Students literacy skill proficiency grew significantly over the course of PRM’s lesson sequence.  Those students who started with below-level literacy skills increased at a faster rate compared to other students over the course of PRM’s lesson sequence.

A Snapshot of Success in the Classroom

In the community of Jasper, a rural city just northwest of Birmingham, Alabama, students have already seen success with Learning Without Tears’ newest reading program, Phonics, Reading, and Me™.

More than 450 of the region’s students attend T.R. Simmons Elementary School, where educators were beginning to see gaps in students’ reading skills that stood out to them. Angela Harbin, a reading specialist at the school, said they were looking for a literacy program that supported their existing curriculum by building foundational skills that would last through the later grades.

We’re not just teaching reading; we’re cultivating confident, lifelong readers through a research-backed approach to phonics instruction. Our method delivers results that matter and empowers students with a solid foundation in phonics, opening the door to fluent reading and comprehension.
