Tested, Real-World Results for Educators and Specialists

The Fast ForWord program develops and strengthens memory, attention, processing rate, and sequencing—the cognitive skills essential for reading intervention program success. The strengthening of these skills results in a wide range of improved critical language and reading skills such as phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, decoding, working memory, syntax, grammar, and other skills necessary to learn how to read or to become a better reader.

Fast ForWord reading intervention products support existing curriculum—they don't replace it. They align to No Child Left Behind state mandates and have been an important factor in AYP success. And, most importantly, the gains students achieve are lasting, the result of enduring positive changes in their processing skills and learning capacity.

When using the program in addition to classroom instruction, students can Improve their reading grade level up to 50% more than students receiving classroom instruction alone, in the same time period.

Teachers can easily monitor and assess students’ reading progress so they can save time while more effectively individualizing instruction to maximize reading achievement.

No need to wait two years or even one year to see if AYP was made. You know if your students are progressing day by day and can address the situation immediately.
