The Lesson Plan/Record Book serves as a tool for continuous progress monitoring of student achievement. It is also a convenient lesson planner and a guide to the sequence of activities within each Edmark Reading Program lesson. One booklet per student is needed. Each Lesson Plan/Record Book covers the entire Level 1 program.

The 286 reproducible Comprehension activities provide an extensive amount of word recognition practice and comprehension reinforcement. These activities include a variety of formats in which the students read and comprehend words and phrases. The students choose from answers consisting of illustrations, words, or phrases. Multisensory activities are included and involve circling words, drawing lines between words or phrases and illustrations, cutting and placing illustrations, and underlining phrases. The students will enjoy completing the assignment on their own, with a buddy, or with a family member.

Objectives
The students will demonstrate comprehension of words or phrases by answering the comprehension questions as required by each activity. The students will do the following:

• Match a phrase to an illustration
• Circle the word that matches the picture
• Circle the correct answer (yes or no)
• Circle the word that correctly completes the sentence (multiple choice)
• Circle the correct multiple-choice answer

The 233 reproducible Homework activities are a fun way to reinforce classroom learning. Many students require extra practice with word recognition and reading after school to retain what they learned. The students also enjoy demonstrating their reading ability to parents and family.

The eight different types of homework activities differ from the activities practiced during class, provide word recognition practice, and promote generalization.

Objectives
The students will demonstrate comprehension of words, phrases, and sentences by following instructions for eight different types of activities. The student will do the following:

• Match a word found in two different fonts
• Read words in isolation
• Find the correct word on a page full of other words
• Read sentences in their parent's or family member's handwriting
• Match words and illustrations
• Follow written directions
• Color the correct color
• Circle the word ending

The 75 reproducible Spelling activities provide both reinforcement for recognition of new reading words and a beginning spelling experience. A Spelling activity follows every two new words learned. The student can write or sign the answers.

• Write each word two times
• Write a spelling word to complete a phrase or sentence
• Write a missing letter to complete a word
• Identify correctly spelled words
• Write a phrase or sentence using a spelling word

The Mastery Test is a domain referenced, nationally field-tested instrument designed specifically to assess the performance of students using the Edmark Reading Program. This highly reliable and relevant test consists of four subtests that closely mirror the instructional format of the Edmark Reading Program.

The Discrimination and Picture/Phrase Match subtests can be administered in a group setting. The Word Recognition and Oral Reading subtests require individual administration by teachers or paraprofessionals.

The Mastery Test can be used

• For continuous progress monitoring in the Edmark Reading Program
• To determine the student’s mastery of the program
• As a placement instrument for students whose instruction in the Edmark Reading Program has been interrupted
• To identify targeted reading objectives for the student’s IEP

Detailed information on administration, scoring, and interpreting results is provided in the Mastery Test Manual. Administer the Mastery Test (a) at the beginning of the school year to obtain baseline data and make placement decisions, (b) after every 50 lessons (or as needed) to show progress, and (c) at the end of the school year to report student progress to the next year’s teacher.

These reproducible activities reinforce the words taught in the program and help students generalize and demonstrate their reading skills. Bingo consists of 150 bingo boards and 150 bingo cards. The bingo cards can be copied and cut apart or copied onto business card sheets.

Objectives
The student will do the following:

• Scan and read the words on the Bingo board
• Identify which word (if any) the teacher has called aloud, and cross it off
• Identify when he or she has achieved a bingo and announce it

These 86 short fictional stories are illustrated with full-color art. The stories enable students to practice reading words they have learned to recognize, but in a new context. These engaging stories contain only familiar words. Discussion questions located at the back of each book allow the teacher to check a student’s understanding of the stories. Students of all ages will find it fun and amusing to discuss the stories, illustrations, and words with their teachers and fellow students, thereby extending their comprehension and use of the Edmark Reading Program words.

Objectives
The students will:

• Read stories aloud
• Read stories silently
• Demonstrate comprehension by answering discussion questions and by engaging in conversation about the stories and illustrations

• Read stories
• Demonstrate comprehension by answering discussion questions and by engaging in conversation about the stories and photo illustrations

Two, 7.5" x 11.25," vinyl masks allow the student to focus on one line of text at a time through either a wide or narrow transparent strip.

The Rides is a gift to be given to students upon completion of the Edmark Reading Program — Level 1. The story uses all of the 150 words (and only those words) and three word endings taught in the program. It is intended as a culminating activity, to be given to each student along with a certificate as a reward for completing the program. Five copies of The Rides and five certificates of completion are provided with each Level 1 program.
