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 peer-reviewed neuroscience research on reading and learning in children, adolescents, and adults.
What do Fast ForWord products do?
We improve essential cognitive skills -- Learning MAPs
Effective reading and learning requires a variety of cognitive skills that must function in unison. Fast ForWord products develop Learning MAPs skills, critically important prerequisites for successful reading. When Learning MAPs are stronger, students are able to benefit from reading instruction.
What are Learning MAPs?
Memory-hold information and ideas short- and long-term, essential for word
recognition, comprehension of complex sentences, and remembering instructions.
Attention-focus on tasks and ignore distractions.
Processing-critical for distingushing speech sounds and identifying letter and word forms.
Sequencing-a cognitive skill that relies on memory, attention, and processing and is essential for phonics, word fluency, reading and oral comprehension.
