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 efficacy study conducted by LearnPlatform, 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.
For students overall, their skills grew by 17.5% over the course of four lessons (slope = 0.175, p <.001); for students who started below level, their skills grew by 32.7% (slope = 0.327, p <.001), and for students who started on level, their skills grew by 8.8% overall (slope = 0.088, p <.001).

Ways to Manage Phonics, Reading, and Me in the Classroom
LEARNING CENTERS
CO-TEACHING
The teacher leads one small group while practice takes place in centers where students rotate. If there are multiple adults in the room, the teacher leads one small group and a student teacher, paraprofessional, or parent volunteer facilitates the other groups.
TEACHER GROUP AND CLASS
While the teacher leads one group, the rest of the class works at their seats. If the class has access to 1:1 devices, all students can go online for practice in Student Digital Learning.

• Sheep is a word that is both singular (one sheep) and plural (three sheep).
• The word whee can be said when someone sees or does something fun.
• In this story, belong means something is in the right place, like children belong at school.
• “This is neat!” means that someone really likes something. Neat also means clean.
• This story is fantasy with talking animals as the characters in the story. Speech bubbles are used to show when each character is talking.

Spelling Quick Skills Check: Dictate words with short and long e. Have children write them on double-lined paper: leg, feed, bed, heat. If children have difficulty, segment the sounds, model stretching continuous sounds (e.g., /sss/, / mmm/,/lll/, /rrr/) or bouncing stop sounds (e.g., /t/, /p/, /g/), inserting pauses between the sounds for further support. For challenge, use sentences: We need a meal. He sets up a feast. See p. 56 of the Program Guide for more spelling dictation as students use p. 57 of the Reading Response Journal.

MAKE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS
Reading Response Journals give students the opportunity to apply new phonics skills to meaningful writing about the text through prompted writing exercises As students learn to decode words with each skill, they also write them This reading-writing connection strengthens key literacy skills
• A Reading Response Journal is provided for each set: A, B, C, and D The two pages per lesson practice the targeted skill while engaging students with the connected text
• Tips for differentiating the response pages are provided in the Teacher Lesson Card, providing more support or challenge to students based on their level of proficiency
SET B
The interactive pages encourage students to practice the targeted skill words and connect to the unit themes by responding to text
SET A
At the earliest level, students are asked to draw then encode/ spell words with the target skill from the connected text sets
“Your teeth are green!” said
“Green?” asked Finley.
“Still green?” asked Finley.
“No, Finley,” said Bree.
“Bleat! Bleat” yelled Finley.
Finley drank a tall glass of sweet peach tea.
Finley drank a big jug of sweet cream.
“Are my teeth clean yet?” Finley asked.
