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 2 program.

The 140 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. Exercise types include cloze, reading/writing response, short answers, and multiple choice. The students choose from answers consisting of words. 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:

• Select the correct word to complete a sentence
• Answer questions related to brief stories
• Select the correct word in dictation from multiple choices (review)

The 199 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.

Eight different types of homework activities provide word recognition practice in formats that differ from the activities the student practiced during class. The students will generalize their word recognition and reading skills to a variety of typefaces and handwriting, and new situations.

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

• Match a word found in two different fonts
• Find the correct word to complete a sentence
• Choose the correct word to complete a sentence
• Match words to pictures
• Copy a sentence
• Read a cluster of sentences
• Read flash card words to an adult

The 53 reproducible Spelling activities provide both reinforcement for recognition of new reading words and a beginning spelling experience. A Spelling activity follows every five new words learned, plus there are 13 review activities. The student can write or sign the answers.

• Write each word two times
• Write a missing letter to complete a word
• Write a spelling word to complete a sentence
• Identify correctly spelled words
• Write a sentence using a spelling word
• Write one sentence using as many of the five spelling words as possible

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 200 bingo boards and 200 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

The 100 Stories engage students in reading short, fictional works illustrated with full-color art. The stories enable the students to practice reading words they have learned to recognize, but in a new context. These engaging stories contain only words that have been learned in previous lessons. Possessives, contractions, and hyphenated words are used in some of the stories. As they are introduced, it is necessary to explain their usage. Compound words are introduced in Story 10. Discussion questions located at the back of each book allow the teacher to check the students’ understanding. Students of all ages will find it fun and amusing to discuss the stories, illustrations, and words with their teach-ers 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
• Read the stories to a variety of people, including family members and other students
