Edmark Reading Program 2nd Edition - Level 2 Supplementals

Reading Level: Grade 1 – Grade 3. 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.

Bingo
Reproducible activities reinforce the words taught in the program and help students generalize and demonstrate their reading skills. Bingo consists of 200 bingo boards and 200 bingo cards. The bingo cards can be copied and cut apart or copied onto business card sheets.

Objectives: students will do the following:

• Scan and read the words on the Bingo board
