Fast ForWord Reading Readiness
Fast ForWord Reading Readiness consists of six exercises:
Coaster
A haunted coaster ride helps students develop letter-sound association skills and build an initial understanding of the alphabetic principle.
Houndini
As Houdini works his magic cards, students associate letters with sounds to develop phonological awareness skills, including phoneme analysis and phonological working memory.
Hungry Tummy
By feeding the hungry bear, the student learns to follow verbal instructions as well as improving verbal decoding and working memory skills.
Inside the Tummy
The friendly bear invites you to click and drag the coloured shapes into the matching outlines in his big tummy. This exercise develops visual attention, pattern recognition, auditory perception, eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills.
Packing Pig Has Lunch
While helping Packing Pig get his lunch, a student improves auditory working memory and visual spatial memory abilities while further developing letter-name association skills with uppercase and lowercase letters.
Packing Pig Goes to Work
Helping the Packing Pig to identify which letters should be gift-wrapped develops letter-name association skills while reinforcing visual attention, hand-eye coordination and auditory working memory.
