Fast ForWord Reading Intervention Program
The Fast ForWord program is a reading intervention designed for K-12 education institutions and clinical specialists worldwide whose students are reading below grade level.
The Fast ForWord program develops brain processing efficiency through intensive, adaptive exercises. Fast ForWord products offer tested, real-world results for educators and specialists around the globe.
The Fast ForWord program 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.
Fast ForWord reading intervention 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.
The Fast ForWord program is based on more than 30 years of foundational research into how the brain learns. This research established the fact that boosting the brain’s processing efficiency accelerates quality learning. It’s called brain plasticity and among neuroscientists, it refers to the brain’s ability to change at any age throughout life.
Fast ForWord products use patented technologies that leverage the science and opportunity of brain plasticity. By exercising processing skills through intensive, adaptive activity, actual physical changes occur in the brain. “Gray matter” can thicken, neural connections can be forged and strengthened, and these physical changes to the brain can improve learning ability. The Fast ForWord program can trigger change in the brain and provide an optimal foundation for learning and reading success.
The technologies behind the program were specifically designed to match the ability and progress of each learner. This ability to adapt to the student means they are always challenged, but not frustrated. This optimal learning experience means that students who use Fast ForWord products often make an average 1 - 2 years gain in reading skills in as little as 8 to 12 weeks. With the Fast ForWord program, great results are the norm, rather than the exception.
