Our Fast ForWord® software products develop cognitive skills required to read and learn effectively. The basis for Fast ForWord® products comes from more than 30 years of neuroscience research on reading and learning in children, adolescents, and adults
Effective reading and learning requires a variety of cognitive skills that must function in unison. Fast ForWord® products develop the underlying cognitive skills that are critical for successful reading (Memory, Attention, Processing Speed, and Sequencing Skills). These underlying cognitive skills are continuously developed as students progress further in English Language acquisition process (Phonemic awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension)

Memory is essential for word recognition,
comprehension of complex sentences,
and remembering instructions. Fast ForWord® enhances working memory,
short and long-term memory. |

Attention is the ability to focus on information
and tasks, and ignore distractions. Fast ForWord® courses are scientifically designed
to improve both attention and focus. |

Processing Rate is the rate one is able to
accurately process incoming information.
In the context of reading, processing rate
refers to how quickly one can distinguish
speech sounds and identify letters and words
to create meaning. |
 |
Sequencing is placing the detail of information
in its accustomed order. In the context of
reading, sequencing is the ability to determine
the order of the letters within words or words
within sentences. |
