Product Use/Directions Edmark Reading Program Overview

Vocabulary
The Edmark Reading Program first introduces vocabulary in isolation to the student. Words are presented and the student is asked to choose the same word from a row of similar-looking words. The student begins by choosing the word from a row that has no confounding words and, after repeated practice, moves to choosing the correct word from a row that has very similar-looking words. Soon the student is able to competently read the target word.

Comprehension
Following word recognition and vocabulary activities, the teacher switches the student to very different activities in order to teach comprehension. In the Picture Phrase Card activity, a large card with a group of pictures is presented to the student. The student is then given smaller cards with phrases—and later, sentences—written on them. The student reads the phrase cards and matches them to the pictures.

Fluency
Fluency is practiced during these activities through guided oral reading. The teacher directs the student to read the sentences, phrases, and stories aloud and gives corrections and guidance as needed. The Edmark Reading Program reinforces previously learned vocabulary by including words from earlier lessons in the subsequent lessons. Therefore, students have multiple opportunities to read familiar words, thus improving the speed and accuracy of their reading.
Did You Know
Did You Know The Edmark Reading Program provides motivation by breaking learning into steps that ensure even the poorest readers achieve over 90 percent correct answers. This approach eliminates incorrect responses and leads students to see themselves as “readers” rather than “nonreaders."

The Edmark Reading Program teaches frequently used words using a highly structured word recognition method. Vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency skills are developed through this approach.
