Fast ForWord Reading Series
The Fast ForWord Reading Series comprises five progams which develop reading skills. They combine cognitive skill development with reading skill development.
Each Program corresponds to the expected reading competency for a student in the equivalent grade (for example, Reading 1 for Grade 1, Reading 2 for Grade 2 ).
Each Reading Program builds on the skills developed in the previous one. See how in the FFW Reading Matrix
The Fast ForWord Reading Programs
- Strengthen working, short-term and long-term memory, essential for word recognition, comprehension of complex sentences, and remembering instructions.
- Improve concentration and attention so students can focus on tasks and ignore distractions.
- Strengthen processing skills so students see images and distinguish sounds quickly enough to discriminate their differences, essential for phonemic awareness and reading fluency
- Improve sequencing, a cognitive skill that relies on memory, attention, and processing and is essential for phonics, word fluency, reading and oral comprehension.
