English language and reading skills are critical for all students, impacting their ability integrate into classrooms in the United States and to benefit from instruction, follow directions and participate in class discussions. Strong linguistic skills also provide a critical foundation for building reading and writing skills. After Fast ForWord use, students in the Deer Valley Unified School District made significant gains in their English language and reading skills. These results replicate other studies and demonstrate that using the Fast ForWord products strengthens students’ foundational skills and better positions them to benefit from the classroom curriculum.
