Teaching PHONICS
In a Balanced Reading Program
Teaching phonics is a critical first step in putting reading within reach for all children. However, not all phonics programs are the same and some can even hinder the learning process.
The E.D.N.A. 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.
Materials Used in the Program
Teachers are provided with all of the resource materials they will need to teach the E.D.N.A. Program including books, lesson plans and support materials.
The majority of the books used in the E.D.N.A. II program are historical fiction or non-fiction so student knowledge in the content areas of social studies and history is reinforced while their reading improves.
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 gains.
- Students read on average 25 new pages of print a day; they reread or practice this same material twice which equals 75 pages a day. For the year, E.D.N.A. students read on average 13,500 pages.
- In just one year of E.D.N.A. instruction, students can make an average gain of three years.
