Accelerate Learningfor Every StudentProven Results: 1–2 years gain in 8-12 weeks

Join Scienti� c Learning for: Bridging Tough Times with E� ective Strategies. Schools must o� set shrinking budgets by accelerating student learning and producing sustainable academic achievement in less time and with less money. Participants will learn about Texas districts that are rapidly impacting student performance as we share innovative and proven methods of producing academic gains - even during challenging economic times.

We accelerate learning by applying proven research on how the brain learns. Scienti� c Learning’s results are demonstrated in approximately 250 research studies and protected by over 55 patents. Learners can realize achievement gains of 1-2 years in as little as 8-12 weeks and maintain an accelerated rate of learning even after the programs end.

Fast ForWord The Fast ForWord® family of products is based on more than 30 years of neuroscience research proving the brain can improve throughout life with individualized, adaptive exercise – Brain Fitness. We accelerate learning by building Memory, Attention, Processing, and Sequencing in the areas of English language and reading.

Reading AssistantScienti� c Learning Reading Assistant™ software combines advanced speech-veri� cation technology with the latest reading science to help K-12 students strengthen their � uency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Reading Assistant provides intensive reading practice and acts as a tutor, so that as students read aloud, the program “listens,” providing one-on-one guided oral reading support.
