Fast ForWord Summer Reading Intervention
We are pleased that our targeted learners were able to have the opportunity to work with the Fast ForWord program during this time of virtual learning. Lawrence Is proud to be a district that was able to implement a new intervention program during this time. We are grateful to the leaders, teachers and families who are working together to ensure readers advance their skills.
FastForword is a highly rated program as evidenced by the success documented in the What Works Clearinghouse.
This series of computer-delivered brain fitness exercises designed to produce dramatic language and reading improvements in a variety of student populations by improving memory, attention. When students process more efficiently, every other instructional strategy works better. The results in schools throughout the country are dramatic; students can achieve a one- to two-year gain in reading skills in 8-12 weeks.
