Learning programs that are...
Fun... Fast... Permanent!
.
Students begin with two formative modules and, if necessary, continue on to a Reading module. Even if reading is not a concern, we encourage students to complete at least one reading module so learning skills are cemented in the brain.
Many of the exercises in the first phase of the software, employ digitally modified speech to help the student better discriminate between sounds. Hearing the difference between the sounds consonants make can be challenging for struggling learners, especially if there is an underlying auditory processing disorder. For example, the difference between the sound that 'B' makes and 'D' makes is very small.
Reading & Learning PATHWAYS specializes in the implementation of Fast ForWord software. If your child is struggling with learning and or reading, we have the expertise to help. Our learning center offers a welcoming environment where your child can quickly develop the skills they need to be successful in the classroom. If you prefer to work at home, we offer a unique parent tutorial that optimizes at-home Fast ForWord study.
Reading & Learning PATHWAYS serves students in North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Burnaby and is the only Learning Center on the North Shore that offers these life-changing programs.
Reading & Learning PATHWAYS has been recognized as a distinguished provider of Fast ForWord programs.
We love helping children succeed.

The second phase of the program is comprised of five reading modules - Reading Levels 1 through 5. The picture on the left is from an exercise called Magic Bird from Reading Level 2. In this program, students learn to spell words and connect basic vowel and consonant rules. At the conclusion of Reading 5, students are ready for the literacy demands of highschool.
