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. The Edmark Reading Program ensures success to students of all ages who have not yet mastered beginning reading.
Students with a variety of differences and disabilities (e.g., students with developmental disability, intellectual disability, autism, hearing impairment, reading disability, or learning disability; learners of English as a second language) learn to read using the Edmark Reading Program. The Edmark Reading Program serves as the sole reading program for many students or as a supplement to a phonics-based or other type of reading program. Students from preschool through adulthood are successful with the Edmark Reading Program.
