EDNA II Reading Program (for Grades 4 and Up)

EDNA II is a dynamic, effective reading intervention program for older children - grade 4 and above - who have not learned the essential lifeskill of reading.

EDNA II is the companion program to EDNA, Early Detection Necessary Action, which targets younger at-risk readers in grades K through 3.

All programs provided by Teach Them To Read are Research Based Programs as identified by the Report of the National Reading Panel.

The EDNA II reading program has also been used successfully in After Hours and Summer School Programs.

The EDNA II Reading Program Features:

Ten weeks of intensive reading instruction produces results equivalent to one full year of regular reading instruction.  Because of the accelerated nature of this program, students realize immediate, dramatic improvements in reading.

Students are taught with effective and efficient instruction which maximizes the available time.  After the student is taught, he/she reads under the teacher's supervision.

EDNA II makes students good effective readers.  In order to play "catch up", students are required to do the work of reading that they should have been doing all along.

Materials Used in the Program

Teachers are provided with all of the resource materials they will need to teach the EDNA II Program:  teaching materials, support materials and books.

Almost all of the books used to teach EDNA II are historical fiction or non-fiction so students further advance the content area of social studies at the same time.

Why is the program so effective?

A strategic combination of proper instruction on behalf of the teacher, appropriate materials and intensive practice on behalf of the student produces dramatic results.  Because students make such tremendous progress, they become highly motivated which in turn produces even greater results.

Students read 25 new pages of print a day; they reread or practice this same material twice which equals 75 pages a day.  For the year, EDNA II students read on average 13,500 pages.

In just one year of EDNA II instruction, students make an average gain of three years.

Stop the Cycle

"Students who do not learn to read are at great risk.  Research shows that 92% of behavior problems, drop-outs and suicide, in the most extreme cases, are linked to poor reading skills."
