What are the benefits of both programs?

Improved Reading and Language Skills
Fast ForWord targets the reading skills of phonemic awareness, phonics, the alphabet, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and comprehension.
 
Improved Cognitive Skills and Executive Function
Our brain-based approach results in strong cognitive skills that are core to reading and language, like memory, attention, processing, and sequencing.

How it works
 
1. Prepare
The Fast ForWord product prepares the brain for reading by improving the language and cognitive skills that are weak in struggling students (MAPS: memory, attention, processing speed, and sequencing).
 
2. Practice
With the Fast ForWord product, your child will receive personalized, intensive practice on a wide variety of language and reading skills—more than any other approach or intervention. Intensity is the key to getting far better results, fast.
 
3. Reinforce
Using speech verification technology, our product listens to students as they read aloud and provides corrective guided reading feedback to help reinforce new language and reading skills and rapidly build fluency and comprehension.
