Language and reading skills are critical for all students, impacting their ability to benefit from instruction, follow directions, participate in class discussions, read to learn, and complete written work. After Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant use, students in the Everett Public Schools made significant gains on measures of reading achievement, reading skills, and English proficiency. These results replicate other studies and suggest that using the Scientific Learning products strengthened the students’ foundational skills and better positioned them to benefit from the classroom curriculum.
