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.

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.
