Fast ForWord

For Struggling Readers

Dr. Sortino can also help your child through the Fast ForWord Reading Intervention Program, created by Scientific Learning Corporation, which addresses reading struggles by preparing student brains for reading and learning success. The software develops the processing assistance that is required of any student to read, listen, think, and participate successfully in the classroom.

The Fast ForWord LANGUAGE Series products build foundational elementary school reading and language skills to help students learn successfully in the general classroom. Fast ForWord can help children meet the challenging state academic standards and improve state test scores. Fast ForWord also provides extra academic support and learning opportunities in reading and language for struggling students, including at-risk students, ELL students, and special education students.

Helps Middle and High School Readers

Close the Achievement Gap!

The Fast ForWord LITERACY Series helps struggling preteen and teenage readers build their confidence – and improve state assessment scores. The series features age-appropriate exercises, characters and artwork designed to appeal to secondary school students and adults. It builds foundational middle and high school reading and language skills to help districts move struggling students – including at-risk students, ELL students, and special education students – to become successful learners in the general classroom. 

Reading Assistant

Using speech recognition technology, Scientific Learning’s Reading Assistant software provides one-on-one guided oral reading support, acting as a patient, non-judgmental listener to struggling readers. Monitoring for signs of difficulty, the program intervenes with assistance when the child is challenged by a word. Extensive reporting features enable educators to monitor their students’ progress with Scientific Learning products. Educators whose students are using Reading Assistant software may also play back recordings of student’s individual readings at a later time.
