Secondary Student Success Stories
On completion of an 8 week program, students in a secondary school in Victoria were asked to write a short reflection on the changes they had noticed since undertaking the Fast ForWord program. Here are some of their thoughts…
|
“In class I can listen and understand better; I think this is from the program. If I did the program for longer I would see more of a difference.”
|
| |
|
“I have noticed, after doing the Fast ForWord program, I understand conversations better when I am speaking to someone. It has helped me with my reading.”
|
| |
|
“Fast ForWord has helped me understand people better, especially people with an accent. I have also found I have been doing better in English and Maths mainly, but the reason I haven’t noticed it more in other subjects is because I don’t have them as much. I think this program works, thank you.”
|
| |
|
“I have found my concentration and my understanding of people is better. I can concentrate on listening easier, instead of my mind wandering off.”
|
| |
|
“This program has helped me in Maths and other subjects I have trouble with. I feel it has helped with my reading a lot and my understanding of things during and after classes. I can sound out words heaps better and I think if I do it a bit longer I will get where I’m meant to be in class work.”
|
| |
| “I have been able to understand problem solving in Maths a lot more and what the problems want me to do.” |
| |
|
“I have got better results on my problem solving. Usually I have trouble reading and understanding the question, but that’s better now. I got 91% on my test!”
|
| |
|
“Before I first started Fast ForWord, I was a very bad reader and speller, but now that I have done it I’m better at reading and writing. I’m very pleased that this program has helped me so much. I have an easier time understanding instructions and I’m so happy that I can read so much better than before.”
|
| |
|
“The Fast ForWord has benefited me because my reading has got a lot better and I can work out what a question is asking me to do.”
|
| |
| “I have improved my listening, and English and Maths skills. I have enjoyed doing Fast ForWord.” |
