Widely regarded as the "one that works," the Edmark Reading Program has long helped students who need an alternative to phonics. The Edmark Reading Program ensures success to students of all ages who have not yet mastered beginning reading.
The key to this success is the program’s use of a carefully sequenced, highly repetitive word recognition method combined with error-less learning. This approach eliminates incorrect responses and helps students view themselves as readers.
