Because Fast ForWord is working to strengthen cognitive skills, anyone can benefit from its use. Research has proven that at-risk, ELL, learning challenged and, emotionally challenged students have had profound life changing results from using these products. It is designed to target what the brain needs in order to change. When using the recommended schedule you will see positive results in 8 — 12 weeks.
Problems hearing subtle differences in speech sounds often leads to difficulty with reading and can contribute to delays in language development. Often the auditory neurons in the brains of struggling readers do not fire at a fast enough rate to allow the child to hear the first part of a sound and process the rapidly changing acoustic features of speech.
If a child cannot hear the first few milliseconds of a speech sound, many sounds will sound alike. It will be hard to distinguish when one sound ends and another begins. This skill, called temporal processing, is an important skill that must be mastered for success in reading and spelling and to perceive an intact auditory message. Fast ForWord is designed to treat the underlying neuroprocessing impairment by helping the brain reorganize itself and form new neural connections. Users must discriminate between paired sounds, syllables or words, such as choosing which sound rose or dropped in pitch or which picture represents the word they just heard, when presented with words that sound very much alike such as knee vs me.
This helps retrain the sound representation in the brain and improves processing speed. As the learner makes progress, speech is eventually returned to a normal rate. Independent researchers at Stanford and Harvard found that brains of struggling readers become more like those of typical readers after they use Fast ForWord.
Students showed increased activation in brain areas critical for reading, resembling the brain activity of proficient readers. Although there are different types of APD, poor temporal timing processing skills are very common in children with dyslexia. Temporal processing is an important skill that must be mastered for success in reading and spelling and to perceive an intact auditory message. However, we do not recommend using Fast ForWord as a stand-alone program for dyslexia.
A child with dyslexia also needs an intensive dyslexia therapy using a multisensory Orton Gillingham based program that breaks the language down and teaches the reader to decode based on syllable types and spelling rules. When combined with dyslexia therapy, Fast ForWord can help accelerate learning to read by helping children learn to hear and process sounds correctly and efficiently. Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant Plus can be used at the same time to provide a comprehensive solution for reading struggles to improve vocabulary, fluency comprehension, and prosody.
Reading Assistant Plus is an online innovative guided reading tool using patented technology that listens as each word is read aloud and delivers immediate support to help learners whenever they struggle or mispronounce a word — reinforcing newly learned reading skills, vocabulary, and fluency.
Reading Assistant Plus contains reading selections for a variety of interests and reading levels along with frequent comprehension checks and automatic calculation of words correct per minute.
