Fast Forward Audio

Fast Forward audio-assisted reading is recommended after your students have read the Fast Forward written texts. Students can listen to the audio reading and practice reading the text along with the recorded voice.

Fast Forward audio-assisted reading provides an excellent model of fluent reading whereby students can learn how a reader’s voice, using fluency, phrasing and expression, can help written text make sense.
