Kinser Consulting, OpenLiteracy: Introducing 95 Wisconsin: Empowering reading proficiency for all children

[Milwaukee, WI] – Kinser Consulting and OpenLiteracy are thrilled to announce the renaming of their Wisconsin Reads initiative to 95 Wisconsin. This name reflects our steadfast belief that 95% of children can learn to read proficiently with access to excellent, evidence-based instruction.

The change was inspired by our desire to avoid any confusion with another organization in the state and to amplify our commitment to empowering students, teachers, and families with the tools they need for literacy success.

“At 95 Wisconsin, we are driven by the vision that nearly every child can achieve reading proficiency when supported by high-quality instruction,” said Brittany Kinser, CEO of Kinser Consulting. “This new name is more than just a title—it’s a bold statement of our belief in what’s possible for Wisconsin’s children.”

As part of this initiative, 95 Wisconsin will continue to provide strategic support for schools and educators, foster collaboration, and deliver results-driven literacy programs to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn to read proficiently.

With this name, we honor our mission to make literacy accessible to all and reaffirm our dedication to creating a brighter future for Wisconsin’s young readers. Together, we can move closer to a world where every Wisconsin student thrives through the power of reading.
