Benefits

• Individuals become more competent and confident learners and readers. They build learning capacity, so they understand more of what they are taught and they grow in the belief in their own abilities
• The science shows changes to the brain can happen within a few sessions of the brain being challenged. However, most people don’t notice the change until after 30 hours or more depending upon the protocol being followed.
• This also applies to adults and those who have experienced a stroke or traumatic brain injury.

Clear Fluency is an online guided reading-aloud coach using voice recognition technology to deliver the one-on-one guided oral reading support. It can be teamed with Fast ForWord or used as a stand-alone extension programme.

Benefits

As readers read out loud, their reading is recorded allowing them to replay the recording. This enables them to hear how fluent their reading has become since using Clear Fluency. This is especially helpful for anyone who is sensitive to having feedback from a ‘live’ person.
