The Edmark Reading Program has long helped students who need an alternative to phonics learn to read. The key to this success is the program’s use of a carefully sequenced, highly repetitive word recognition method combined with error less learning. The program motivates students by breaking learning into steps that ensure that even the poorest readers achieve over 90% accuracy. This approach eliminates incorrect responses and helps students view themselves as readers. The Edmark Reading Program ensures success to students of all ages who have not yet mastered beginning reading.
