edmark

Does anyone use this program? Max uses this at school. It is a sight word/reading program. I am not sure why some of the words are chosen to be on the first 150 words, but whatever. He seems to be doing pretty well with it. He already knows roughly 45 of the words. He signs them, then attempts to say the ones he knows how. Part of the program are some coloring sheets. I will have a paragraph or so and say what color something is. Then he has to read it, figure out what color what item should be. He seems to like it. For example, one might look like this...

The little girl put the green ball and the car in the box. The boy put a yellow airplane in the box. I see a green fish in the box. etc....

Then he looks at the picture, finds the ball and colors it green. All the words used in Edmark build sentences and progress further with each word added.

So, does anyone use this? If not, do you use anything special on teaching sight words/ reading?
