It's hard to make friends when you don't understand what people are saying
If your child has a language barrier then they may not understand half of what they hear.
They won’t get the joke, they won’t realise it’s sarcasm, they won’t like groups, they won’t remember a 3 step instruction. Other kids pick up on that.
It doesn’t have to be that way. You can help your child make friends and fully participate in school by improving their listening comprehension with Fast ForWord.

Just as a body runs better and quicker when fit, brains learn better after consistent use of the scientifically designed exercises.
Your children do 7 exercises each day - just 7 minutes per exercise, 5 days a week. This strengthens the brain the same way a fit athlete builds muscle memory, through repetition.
Each day your children are prompted to answer hundreds of increasingly more difficult exercises in quick succession, using scientifically-based neuroscience principles.
Exercises adapt to students' performance, providing precise and efficient training, personalised for their individual needs.
After a few weeks, most parents report their children are reading better, understand more, are more focused, complete homework more easily, or have improved in several of these areas.
Fast ForWord is a research-based software for students from primary to high school. It can make a fast and permanent change to your children's ability to learn.

“Our son has shown improvements in so many areas, most importantly, focus and attention. This has impacted his achievements across the board at school and has increased his confidence and willingness to be involved in his education. Thank you for your support, the results are amazing.”

"Last year Matt was not wanting to go to school. He’s a really social kid, outgoing, confident little lad, and he didn’t want to go to school. He was waking up and saying ‘I don't want to go to school, school's boring, I don't like school,’ Since Fast ForWord I haven't heard that at all. His assessment at the conclusion of the 5 month subscription showed a gain of 34 months taking him from an estimated grade of Year two and eight months to a grade of Year five and six months. Fast ForWord has made a big difference for Matt".
