What is Fast ForWord?

Fast ForWord is an adaptive, neuroscience-based reading and language program designed to tackle the root causes of reading difficulties. Unlike traditional reading interventions that focus solely on literacy skills, Fast ForWord targets the underlying cognitive skills essential for effective learning.
Fast ForWord simultaneously develops reading, cognitive, and social-emotional learning skills through a series of engaging, adaptive exercises that build foundational abilities needed for successful reading.
