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 contidence. 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. “Some of my students wouldn't be reading without Edmark’s help.” Twenty years later, Edmark continues to find new ways of empowering young children to learn. Computers provide an exciting new 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’s Early Learning Software provides a captivating method for using the home computer to help your child to learn. Our first products for home use—Millie’s Math House, Bailey's Book House, and KidDesk—have received critical acclaim and major awards from educators and software experts. Thinkin’ Things is the latest addition to our growing family of products designed specifically for young children. At Edmark, we're driven by the wondrous look of children learning something new. Our goal is to ensure that if Edmark’s name is on the box, there's a world of learning inside.
