Fast ForWord Gets Brains Fit for Learning

Fast ForWord changes the brain, making it process more efficiently, the way physical workouts train the body to be fitter and stronger. Fast ForWord simultaneously develops fundamental cognitive skills and foundational reading skills.

Fast ForWord Develops Fundamental Cognitive Skills

Fast ForWord trains the brain to optimise learning potential. It does this by developing and strengthening the four fundamental cognitive skills. These skills are:

  • Memory: Memory is essential for word recognition, comprehension of complex sentences, and remembering instructions. Fast ForWord enhances working memory, short and long-term memory.
  • Attention: Attention is essential to focus on information and tasks, and ignore distractions. Fast ForWord is designed to improve both attention and focus.
  • Processing: Processing rate is the speed at which a student can discriminate images and speech sounds and identify letter and word forms in order to create meaning. This is a prerequisite for phonemic awareness and reading. An adequate processing rate enables students to accurately perceive and manipulate information. Fast ForWord increases the rate at which students are able to process information.
  • Sequencing: Sequencing is placing the detail of information in its accustomed order (e.g. days of the week). In the context of reading, sequencing is the ability to determine the order of letters within words or words within sentences. This is a cognitive skill that relies on memory, attention and processing and is essential for phonics, word fluency, reading and oral comprehension. Fast ForWord improves the recognition of the order of sounds, letters, and concepts.

Fast ForWord Develops Foundational Reading Skills

At the same time as it builds the key core skills, Fast ForWord simultaneously develops the foundational reading skills of vocabulary, phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency and comprehension.

Fit Brains Learn Better
