Do any of these describe your child?

  • A slow or choppy reader


  • Reading comprehension is challenging


  • Resists reading and/or doing homework


  • Has had speech delays


  • Drifts off in class and/or is under performing on tests


These issues are all consequences of one underlying difficulty, weak auditory processing. This should be no surprise. Processing language -- listening and in reading -- is not only critical to the way we learn, it requires lightning fast processing, a skill that is beyond many students if left untreated.

How Fast ForWord Helps Reading and Learning

Fast ForWord works on processing skills, for easier decoding and better focus and learning efficiency in class and at homework time. Gemm is the leading provider of the Fast ForWord program to K-12 students and adults anywhere in the US and Canada.
