This new method was remarkably effective with students who were unsuccessful using other programs. By slowly building skills, it ensured success and a feeling of confidence. The students who used this method began to believe in themselves and in their ability to read. In 1970, the Edmark Corporation was formed to make the reading method and other quality educational products available to a broader market. Edmark’s mission was to apply advanced educational concepts to the development of quality classroom materials. Since then, Edmark products have been used extensively in classrooms nationwide, and teachers have been vocal in their praise. “So much magic in one box!” wrote one. Twenty-five years later, Edmark continues to find new ways of empowering children to learn. Computers provide an exciting tool for learning. Managed by educators, Edmark is leading the way in developing engaging, creative software based on proven educational concepts. Now you can possess the same Edmark expertise that teachers have relied on for more than two ° decades. Edmark software provides a captivating method for using the computer to help your students to learn. Our first products for Macintosh and IBM/Compatible computers—WMilllie’s Math House, Bailey’s Book House, Sammy's Science House, KidDesk, and Thinkin’ Things Collection 1— have received critical acclaim and major awards from educators and software experts. Thinkin’ Things Collection 2 and the Imagination Express series—Neighborhood, Castle, and Rain Forest— are the latest additions to our growing family of products designed specifically for students in the elementary grades.
