From struggling reader to college student
"All those years, I took all those tests and all of those reading programs, and they never worked for me. But this time, it was almost like magic. One day I just sat down and read the pet classifieds section of the Orlando Sentinel to my grandfather. I read it like it was nothing." Read More

The success of Fast ForWord® software in the classroom is a direct result of extensive and ongoing commitment to high-quality, scientific research.
Nothing in our software is based on trial and error, or theories on what we think will work.
Our products, and the significant results they’ve achieved for students and schools alike, reflect only what has systematically been proven to work in classrooms around the world.
We have compiled one of the largest databases of measured user results in education today, including skills tested with specific student populations from different regions of the country and abroad. View results 
First we find out what works.
Foundational research uncovers how and why learning takes place among students of differing ages, abilities, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural backgrounds.
Foundational research studies strictly adhere to experimental methods and carefully controlled study designs to determine causal relationships between theories of learning and student outcomes. They take place in a strictly controlled learning environment or laboratory setting.
The quantity of foundational research on how Fast ForWord software positively impacts the brain during the learning process is significant: Fast ForWord products are mentioned in over 4,000 foundational research studies. The raw data used from these studies is a crucial first step in developing effective, evidence-based reading intervention.View research studies
