Fast ForWord Reading Readiness
For pre-K, introduces familiarity with text
Fast ForWord Reading Readiness builds pre-reading skills designed for 4-5 year old children. It helps students build the cognitive skills needed for reading, including:
- Letter recognition and naming
- Phonological awareness
- Letter-sound associations
Fast ForWord Reading Readiness is the first reading program in the Fast ForWord Reading series. It is skipped by older children, but is a tremendous help for children who have not developed letter recognition skills. It has six exercises:
Coaster
Students build letter-sound association skills and gain dexterity with the alphabet on a roller coaster ride.
Houdini
Students connect letters with sounds using cards to match text to phonics. This program builds phonological awareness and phonological working memory.
Hungry Tummy
This exercise helps listening accuracy and learning to follow multiple-step verbal instructions. These improved language processing skills also develop pre-reading decoding and working memory skills.
Inside the Tummy
Students match shapes to build visual attention, pattern recognition, auditory perception, eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills.
Packing Pig Goes to Work
This game works on letter-name association as well as visual attention, hand-eye coordination and auditory working memory.
Packing Pig Has Lunch
This exercise helps working memory and comfort with letters.
