When assigning a Fast ForWord component to a student, you can choose the protocol for that assignment.
A Fast ForWord component’s protocol determines which exercises are worked on in that component, how often those exercises are worked on, and the length of time spent working in each exercise on a given day. These protocols have been proven to help maximize the benefits of the Fast ForWord product.
By default, each of the Fast ForWord components presents two to three exercises each day, for a total of 30 minutes each day, five days a week. For those who require more flexibility, the software provides alternate protocols to meet different student requirements. For example, if your students have extra time each day to work on the Fast ForWord components, a protocol with a longer daily participation time may be more appropriate. Choose from any of the available protocols (listed below).
Note that Reading Readiness uses only the 30-minute protocols.
- 30 minutes a day, 3 or 5 days a week
- 40 minutes a day, 3 or 5 days a week
- 50 minutes a day, 3 or 5 days a week
- 90 minutes a day, 3 or 5 days a week
