Unlocking academic language and cross-curricular learning in grades 6-12
95 Adolescent Word Study Solution
Introducing a new structured literacy approach to accelerate academic language acquisition.
Designed for middle and high school classrooms, 95 Adolescent Word Study Solution equips teachers with the tools and training to help students decode and decipher multisyllable, complex words—building the required academic language skills to access grade-level content and fully participate in learning across subjects.
Long-term academic success through middle and high school depends on students’ abilities to decode, analyze, and understand multisyllabic words across subjects. NAEP data shows only 30% of 8th graders and 35% of 12th graders meet grade-level reading expectations—making academic language a major barrier to secondary learning.
In this webinar, we’ll break down our word study solution and explore:
- Easy-to-implement multisyllabic decoding and morphology resources that empower teachers to address urgent academic vocabulary deficits in departmentalized classrooms
- Structured routines and meaningful practice to help students decode, understand, and apply complex words
- Tools and training that build educator confidence in delivering word study instruction across tiers and disciplines
- Flexible instructional pathways to support grade-level access across content area learning
BONUS: Attend the live presentation and WIN!
Two lucky attendees will win 95 Adolescent Word Study Solution, which includes the tools and the training to implement this evidence-aligned, turnkey approach in their classrooms.
