We are thrilled to share a groundbreaking development in our mission to support striving readers. Storyshares has partnered with 95 Percent Group to launch 95 Readables™, a dynamic collection of chapter books created specifically for students in grades 2–8.

‍

This unique collaboration brings together the talents of our Storyshares authors, educators, phonics editors, and literacy experts to produce 145 captivating decodable texts. These books seamlessly complement 95 Phonics Core Program® and 95 Phonics Lesson Library™, providing targeted and engaging content designed to boost literacy skills.

‍

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• For Grades 2–5: These chapter books align with the phonics program’s scope and sequence, offering students focused practice with newly acquired skills. Each story reinforces vocabulary, comprehension, and writing through thematic, engaging content—making learning both fun and impactful.
• For Grades 6–8: Older striving readers will find age-appropriate stories that capture their attention and foster confidence. These books provide the same phonics support but with mature themes and content, ensuring reading remains enjoyable while promoting growth in literacy.
• Each set of 95 Readables™ comes with an educator companion, developed by the Storyshares team of literacy experts, that includes vocabulary guides, comprehension questions, and writing prompts to support classroom instruction and help teachers make the most of these new resources.

Why This Partnership Matters

‍

At Storyshares, our mission has always been to empower striving readers by reigniting their love for reading through content that is carefully crafted to meet their needs. Our partnership with 95 Percent Group marks a significant leap forward in that journey, enabling us to deliver even more accessible and engaging reading materials for students who need them the most.

As Louise Baigelman, Storyshares Founder and CEO, shared:

‍

"Our journey into creating decodable chapter books began in response to a growing demand from educators who were searching for engaging and diverse texts to support students’ foundational literacy skills—from late elementary through high school. The overwhelmingly positive reception of our first three decodable series confirmed the critical need for these resources. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with 95 Percent Group on a custom collection that enhances their literacy program, and we can’t wait to see the transformative impact these new titles will have on readers in grades 2–8."

‍

By teaming up with 95 Percent Group, we’re continuing to meet the evolving needs of educators and striving readers everywhere. Together, we’re opening new doors to literacy success and ensuring that all students, regardless of their reading level, have access to books that inspire, challenge, and motivate.
