What To Expect From Gemm Learning

Our program works on underlying cognitive skills that, when strengthened, enable dramatically improved levels of reading and academic performance.

The results are different to any achieved by tutors, who most often work around cognitive glitches and focus instead on re-teaching content. Because tutoring does not change the underlying learning dynamic, gains almost by definition are modest. By contrast, gains from Fast ForWord (or in some cases, BrainWare Safari), can be profound and enduring. They become part of the learner, leading to a permanent improvement in the rate of academic progress.

Scientific Results

This Texas school study of the Fast ForWord program shows that 5th graders gained 12 months while on the program and an additional 14 months subsequent to completion. This is consistent with the scientific data. Fast ForWord software builds underlying cognitive skills that enable a higher level of academic achievement.

Individual Results

Ultimately, the gains brought about by Fast ForWord are intensely personal. While the "average gains" from scientific studies represent a wide range, the Fast ForWord program by Gemm has change the lives of countless children and adults in a very real way.
