The Learning Process Accelerated.
Our patented Fast ForWord technology accelerates learning by boosting the brain’s ability to process incoming information more effectively and efficiently.
It’s called brain plasticity and among neuroscientists, it refers to the brain’s ability to change at any age throughout life.
Our products use patented technologies that leverage the science of brain plasticity. The Fast ForWord® program triggers changes in the brain and provides an optimal foundation for learning and reading success.
Four key components of our technology-based intervention work together to create the dramatic changes in brain function required to achieve universal literacy:
- Frequency and Intensity — Neuroscience research demonstrates that completing a set of learning tasks in a frequent, intense timeframe accelerates learning.
- Adaptivity — Exercises adapt with each key stroke to individual skill levels and responses, keeping students continuously challenged but not frustrated.
- Simultaneous Development — Exercises develop major cognitive and reading skills simultaneously to produce lasting improvements in learning.
- Timely Motivation — Tiered rewards are designed to maximize motivation from start to finish.
Our Fast ForWord® LANGUAGE series includes a patented technology that stretches and emphasizes speech sounds at early exercise levels, progressing to natural speech sounds as a student advances to higher levels. This technological ability to “acoustically modify” speech helps students recognize word sounds, first in isolated syllables, then in groups of sounds, then in words, and finally in sentences.
The Fast ForWord program is recognized as a proven scientifically based reading intervention product at leading educational organizations such as:
- Education Commission for the States
- Milken Family Foundation
- The Metiri Group
- Stanford University, Cornell University, UCSF Medical Center & Rutgers University, and many other top Universities
Data independently gathered by schools and educators has shown that with recommended use, Fast ForWord products get results. Our extensive database of student results show our products have a statistically significant positive effect on a wide variety of student populations, including English Language Learners, Special Education students, academically at-risk students, and students performing below their potential.
