Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
Review of the literature included newer studies involving the Edmark Reading program. Mixed results were concluded as participants in the Edmark Reading groups made progress on the aspects measured, but in one study larger effect sizes were found in favor of the control group and the other study concluded that the control group’s mean values were larger than the ERP group, but the ERP group’s gains were larger than the control group’s losses.
