The Fast ForWord family of products, developed by Scientific Learning, helps learners of all ages rapidly improve language and reading skills in just weeks instead of years. The computer-based products combine research on how the brain learns with the latest technology to develop the skills needed to become a good reader. The products and the science behind them have been the subject of numerous national news articles including features in Time and Newsweek magazines, and The Wall Street Journal.

Following an intense, engaging, and individualized protocol, students using Fast ForWord products make gains in the skills critical to language and reading. On average, clients make gains of 1-2 years in just 4-8 weeks. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 40% of the 53 million school children in America need to learn to become better readers.

"If students cannot follow directions or clearly understand what is being said to them in the classroom – an oral based learning environment – then they may find learning and the classroom experience challenging. They also may become bored, distracted and display disruptive classroom behavior," said Dr. Steve Miller, Senior Vice President for Research at Scientific Learning. "Fast ForWord products address those language issues and establishes firmly the language-link that has been found to be fundamental to becoming a good reader and learner."

Fast ForWord Language software, Fast ForWord Language to Reading software, Fast ForWord Middle & High School software and the Fast ForWord to Reading Series software are used for children in K-12. The products feature interactive, animated exercises and use patented technologies to adapt to each trainee's skill level.
 

bullet How long does it take to complete a Fast ForWord program?

Trainees work on Fast ForWord products 90 to 100 minutes a day, five days a week for four to eight weeks. Each day's results are transmitted via the Internet to Scientific Learning which produces reports that the practitioner can use to guide a client’s progress. All work is done on the client’s home computer.
