Overview
The product was developed to help adolescents and younger adults strengthen the foundational cognitive, language, and reading skills they need to succeed in the classroom and become better readers. The Fast ForWord to Literacy product features a carefully sequenced course of activities for developing those skills through an integrated set of computer-based exercises and research-validated learning protocols. When used according to established protocols, the product can deliver a two-year reading gain in as little as eight weeks.
Fast ForWord to Literacy offers an increased emphasis on advanced grammatical structures, more advanced vocabulary, and modifications aimed at better serving special-education and English-language learner (ELL) populations when compared to earlier Fast ForWord products. Exercise introductions are now available in Spanish as well. In addition, the computer interface has been enhanced to include graphics, characters, and themes that are more appealing to adolescents, and Fast ForWord to Literacy includes 29 percent more content than its predecessor Middle & High.
