The Fast ForWord® Reading series is a key component of the Fast ForWord program, a literacy intervention that uses the principles of neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to rewire and improve. The Reading series builds critical cognitive skills in the context of essential reading skills. The exercises are designed on a continuum to effect positive change in the core reading skills of phonological awareness, phonics and decoding, vocabulary knowledge, and reading comprehension. The Fast ForWord Reading app includes Reading Readiness, Reading Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

It is the only reading intervention that has been substantiated by research at Rutgers, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Cornell, etc.
• With over 55 patents in neuroscience and education and 250+ research studies, Fast ForWord® products have delivered dramatic results for even the most struggling of learners.
