Fast ForWord®
A brain-based reading program that channels neuroscience to provide effective and lasting results for all learners.
Fast ForWord
Fast ForWord helps readers achieve their full learning potential. This adaptive online reading program uses the science of learning to fast-track learning recovery so students can catch up to grade-level reading—for good. Struggling learners make 1-2 years’ gains in as little as 40-60 hours of use.
Personalization & adaptivity
Each student has a personalized learning experience that starts with being placed at their level within the Fast ForWord program. Exercises adapt to students' performance, providing precise and efficient training optimized for students' individual needs.
Real-time corrective feedback
When working in the ClearFluency component, students receive real-time corrective feedback from a virtual personal tutor as they read aloud. Just imagine the progress students would make if there were enough teachers to work side-by-side with every single student at the same time—now it’s possible.
Reporting & progress monitoring
Administrators see school- and district-level reports to indicate which groups need more support and to highlight dramatic student gains as evidence for investment. Teachers see exercise progression and overall reading gains to know which students need targeted support and which skills their students need to develop the most. Students have easy-to-interpret progress reports of their success, motivating them to continue making gains.
Engaging & motivating features
Age-appropriate characters or themes, animated rewards, real-time progress meters, and other features engage students as they work on gamified exercises that adapt to students' performance. Motivated students who work on this personalized and adaptive program make rapid progress, no matter their starting point.
On-demand & easy onboarding
Teacher onboarding has never been easier with on-demand instructional videos and frequent live trainings. Thoughtfully designed instructor manuals minimize prep time and include lesson plans, exercise overviews, and ready-to-use student worksheets.
ClearFluency™️
An oral reading fluency tool that acts as a one-on-one tutor to help all students become confident readers.
ClearFluency
Using patented voice recognition technology, ClearFluency listens to students read aloud and provides immediate feedback. In a three-step reading and fluency lesson, see how this tool works to fast-track fluency improvement.
All Fast ForWord licenses include ClearFluency.
Speech recognition technology
ClearFluency uses patented speech recognition technology to deliver real-time, corrective feedback that helps learners self-correct as they read aloud.
Growing library of high-interest texts
Our library is always expanding with constantly updated titles, topics, and genres to motivate your students to continue growing as readers. ClearFluency titles offer diverse perspectives and character representations to help each learner see themselves in the texts they read.
Silent and oral reading skill development
Unlike other digital reading practice tools that only allow learners to record themselves reading aloud, ClearFluency listens to and helps learners when they struggle or mispronounce a word. The experience is like having a personal tutor available anytime, anywhere.
Pre-teaches academic vocabulary
Our built-in Word Wall activities pre-teach academic vocabulary, activate prior knowledge, and provide pronunciations for new words before learners begin reading each selection.
Easy-to-use reports and indicators
ClearFluency provides performance reporting at the district, group, and student levels, enabling data-driven decision-making. Graphs enhance each report and show usage, performance, reading level trends, and student proficiency levels.
