Resources to Support Your Review
“Even after 10 years with Fast ForWord, teachers still tell me how thankful they are because it covers skills they can’t cover in an English Language Arts classroom. They also appreciate that it’s fixing problems early, so by the time students take our state tests in the third grade, they’ve closed those gaps.”
