| Overview | Elementary | Secondary | Progress Tracker |
Fast ForWord software is designed for K-12 education institutions and clinical specialists worldwide whose students are reading below grade level.
Fast ForWord software develops and strengthens memory, attention, processing rate, and sequencing—the cognitive skills essential for learning and reading 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.
Our products support existing curriculum—they don't replace it. They align to 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.

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.
Scientific Learning Progress Tracker, an accountability tool, provides complete visibility into individual, classroom, school, or district performance.
It provides immediate access to assessment on four key skill areas—phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary and comprehension—and it provides alignment information for state standards and major Basal programs.
Easy to use email and print tools also make it a snap to send reports to parents, teachers, or administrators on an as-needed basis. learn

ForWord Products are: Efficient. Effective. Enduring.
Wiring the Brain for Academic Gain
Averaging a one to two grade level reading gain in 8 to 12 weeks. When the brain’s processing skills become more efficient, substantial and quick gains in reading skills are often the outcome.
Effective
Fast ForWord software is recognized as a proven scientifically based reading intervention product by leaders in the advancement of learning at top educational organizations.
Data independently gathered by schools has shown that with recommended protocol use, Fast ForWord products dramatically improve brain processing efficiency. With almost 30,000 students, we have one of the largest databases of user results in education today.
Enduring
Our products use patented technologies that leverage the science of brain plasticity. By exercising processing skills through intensive, adaptive activity, actual physical changes occur in the brain. And those physical changes result in enduring gains in language and reading skills, as documented in longitudinal studies.
