Edmark Reading Program – Level 1 Complete Program
TARGET GROUP: Students with Reading Level K-1
The Edmark Reading Program, Level 1 print version provides students with one-on-one teacher-to-student lessons. The clear structure and presentation method of the lessons allow teachers to effectively employ paraprofessionals and peer tutors in their teaching.
This program teaches 150 words chosen from the Dolch Word List and first-grade readers, as well as regular plural, tense, and gerund endings, capitalization, and punctuation. From the beginning, students find success with a process that teaches a word, introduces its meaning, provides comprehension practice, and uses the word in the story context. All learning modalities are incorporated into this highly effective instructional sequence. Carefully-planned introduction of words and evolution of sentence structure also promote language development. At ten-word intervals, review and test activities are provided allowing teachers to test student knowledge of the words they are learning. Short instructional steps, repetition, and constant positive reinforcement build student self-confidence.
The Story Book lessons include 16 stories with colorful full-page drawings that illustrate simple sentences. Only learned words are used in the stories. Direction Card and Picture/Phrase Card lessons represent a broad diversity of people, role models, and settings. Object oriented words such as “car” are represented by a variety of illustrative sizes, shapes, and colors.
A Teacher’s Guide provides learning objectives, classroom activity ideas, and research references. Student Record Books assist teachers in tracking student progress throughout the program and developing IEP objectives.
The Edmark Reading Program, Level 1 print version can be used independently or in direct correlation with the Edmark Reading Program, Level 1 software version for Macintosh and Windows platforms. Both have exactly the same sequence to address multiple learning styles and create varied activities to fully engage students.
