What Fast ForWord Does:
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-
holds information and ideasfor short and long-term, essential for word
recognition, comprehension of complex sentences, and remembering
instructions.
Attention- focus on tasks and ignore distractions.
Processing Speed - critical for distinguishing speech sounds and identifying letter and word forms.
Sequencing- a cognitive skill that relies on memory, attention, processing speed and is essential for phonics,word fluency, reading
and oral comprehension.
How does Fast ForWord work?
Neuroscience research has demonstrated the importance of several principles — Frequency and intensity, Adaptivity, Simultaneous development, and Timely motivation - to effect change. The Fast ForWord products use these principles to enable student learning.
Frequency and Intensity - brain plasticity research demonstrates that completing a set of learning tasks in a frequent, intense timeframe accelerates learning.
Adaptivity - interactive exercises automatically adapt to individual skill levels and responses, adjusting the learner’s content exposure and targeting correct responses approximately 80% of the time, which maintains challenge and motivates success.
Simultaneous Development - each exercise focuses on a specific set of reading or language tasks and simultaneously develops underlying cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and processing.
Timely Motivation - for the brain to learn, students must be active, attentive, and engaged. Rewards are provided on the first attempt only, a proven neuroscience motivation technique.

Course Requirements
Like going to the Gym to exercise your muscles, Fast ForWord is a series of courses that exercises your brains. And like any form of exercises, consistency, intense training is required for noticeable gains. Students must train for 5 days a week, at least 1 hour per day to see results, fast.
Since Fast ForWord is computer-based, the timing is flexible and students can fix the training time each day according their convenience.
