A Breakthrough for Struggling Adolescent Readers
Two-thirds of secondary students lack proficient reading skills, leading to struggles with learning, confidence, and behavior. With the release of the Elements series of exercises, Fast ForWord Literacy offers the first reading intervention fully designed to build cognitive and language skills in adolescent learners, resulting in lasting reading gains, social-emotional growth, and improved graduation rates.

Continuous Multi-Level Progress Monitoring
Robust progress monitoring and reports offer student, class, school, and district-wide views on learning achievement. The Reading Progress Indicator proprietary assessment correlates to nationally normed assessments, establishing its high level of validity.
