95 Percent Group Agrees to Acquire TouchMath, Expanding Product Ecosystem with Complementary Evidence-Based Math SolutionsMission-aligned organizations unite to support educators with trusted, proven instructional resources that strengthen foundational skills in both literacy and math LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 95 Percent Group, the trusted source for high-quality, proven literacy solutions, today announced the acquisition of TouchMath, a leading provider of explicit, multisensory math programs designed to help students with learning differences build foundational and cumulative math concepts. This acquisition is rooted in the science that explicit, systematic instruction supports foundational learning and positive student outcomes in both literacy and math. By bringing together these two organizations committed to products showing evidence of effectiveness, 95 Percent Group expands its ability to support educators with trusted, proven foundational skills solutions that accelerate learning progress in both literacy and math. Schools and districts can continue to rely on 95 Percent Group's leadership in structured literacy while gaining access to a well-established math intervention program with a strong evidence base. "This is an exciting, new chapter for our organization and the broader educational community," said Brad Lindaas, CEO of 95 Percent Group. "Our growth strategy has been to diversify our product offerings, serve students in multiple learning environments, and support academic success across interconnected areas of learning. Today 95 Percent Group is even better positioned to empower educators to achieve positive student outcomes, with a unified continuum of foundational reading and math, grounded in shared instructional models and aligned to evidence standards." With more than 50 years of experience, TouchMath's mission is to empower educators and support special student popultions, especially those with learning differences. The company's flagship program is well-known for its evidence-based, science of math-aligned, multisensory methodology that incorporates a unique, tactile counting technique. As just one example, in an alternating-treatments study, middle school students in special education improved single-digit addition accuracy from 4% (baseline) to 92% using TouchMath, demonstrating its ability to dramatically accelerate learning for students who require extra support. The combined organization will operate under the 95 Percent Group name. For customers, the experience remains unchanged, with schools and districts continuing to work with their existing TouchMath and 95 Percent Group teams and programs. The acquisition advances 95 Percent Group's growth strategy and expands its offerings, which include One95 Literacy Ecosystem™ and the recently acquired All About Learning Press. The organization is now poised to serve a growing customer base of more than 5,000 school districts and an expanding number of private schools and homeschools across the United States. A definitive agreement has been signed, and closing is expected to occur thereafter, subject to customary closing conditions. For more information, visit 95 Percent Group. About 95 Percent Group?
