While home environment, access to books and social and economic factors each play a part in a child's literacy development, brain differences also play a crucial role. The good news is the brain is plastic!  Scientists have developed a way your child can improve their reading brain and be a much more capable student. ## They have created a neuroscience technology program called Fast ForWord123 Fast ForWord123 is scientifically proven to build brain fitness through individualised adaptive computer exercises that develop the memory, attention, processing and sequencing skills necessary for reading and learning. The program identifies your child's individual learning weaknesses and continuously adjusts the online exercises to keep them challenged. Your child can make gains of up to 1-2 years in reading competency and these gains are maintained without additional training.

The results so far have been nothing short of amazing (great social language, much less anxiety, greater receptive language ability in challenging environments like school). I wish I had a camera when he opened his certificate today for finishing the language program. It was like he’d won an Oscar. **Steve | Victoria** > Before I first started your program, I was a very bad reader and speller, but now that I have done it I’m better at reading and writing. I’m very pleased that this program has helped me so much. I have an easier time understanding instructions and I’m so happy that I can read so much better than before. **Lachlan, 9yo | New Zealand** > This program has helped me in Maths and other subjects I have trouble with.  I feel it has helped with my reading and my understanding of things during and after classes. I can sound out words heaps better and I think if I do it a bit longer I will get where I’m meant to be in class work. **Imogen, 12yo | NSW** > My son's reading fluency has gone from a page of “Babe” read reluctantly in 8-10 minutes to now reading 1 page in a minute with fluency and full comprehension.  He is finding it much easier to sequence events and can tell jokes in the right sequence. **Amanda | Victoria**   **[![Purchase Fast ForWord123 Here](https://hubspot-no-cache-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/363641/5deb2cb6-4ac2-4cb7-b7b7-e272666e69d5.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/363641/5deb2cb6-4ac2-4cb7-b7b7-e272666e69d5)** ### About Us LearnFast was established to bring the world’s best evidence-based learning programs to learners in schools, professional clinics, homes and workplaces.   We are driven by the desire to help as many people as possible overcome learning and English Language communication difficulties - reading, listening, writing and speaking .   We are passionate about helping every Learner achieve her/his potential.
