Edmark Reading Program 2nd Edition - Level 1 Supplementals

Reading Level: K- Grade 1. Interest Level: K - Adult.

Widely regarded as the "one that works," the Edmark Reading Program has long helped students who need an alternative to phonics. The key to this success is the program’s use of a carefully sequenced, highly repetitive word recognition method combined with errorless learning. This approach eliminates incorrect responses and helps students view themselves as readers.
