What is Fast ForWord?

Fast ForWord is an evidence-based language and reading intervention program that uses a unique 3-step approach to deliver fast learning gains. It delivers 1-2 years gain in 40-60 hours of use for any struggling learner.

Schools choose Fast ForWord because our unique brain-based approach targets the root causes of reading difficulty to deliver lasting results that make better readers and lifelong learners.

How it Works: 3 Steps to Transformative Reading and Language Growth

 

Step 1: Prepare

Fast ForWord prepares the brain for reading and learning by improving the cognitive skills that are weak in struggling learners (memory, attention, and processing speed).

Step 2: Practice

Fast ForWord ensures every learner receives personalized, intensive practice on a wide variety of reading and language skills — more than any other approach or intervention.

Step 3: Reinforce

Using speech verification technology, our program listens to students as they read aloud, like a guided reading coach! Learners reinforce their new reading and language skills and rapidly build fluency and comprehension.

What Results Can You Expect?
  • Improved thinking and learning skills that result in more confident, engaged learners
  • Better reading skills and summative testing performance
  • Continued learning growth even after learners have completed the program
