Dear
Your child has been working on reading. They've been showing up. But then, one day, they have this thought:
"I don't think I'm getting any better."
And that's
where most students quit.
The problem isn't that they aren't improving—it's that they can't see their progress.
It's like a child trying to notice themselves growing. Day by day, they look the same. But compare a picture from a few months ago? Huge difference.
Reading proficiency works the same way.
Most learners feel stuck simply because they have no way to measure how far they've come. But if they don't see progress, motivation disappears. And if motivation disappears, the books start collecting dust.
Here's how to fix it:
Start tracking your child's progress with Fast ForWord.
I had a
student, Sarah, whose parent emailed me frustrated, saying her reading comprehension still wasn't strong. So I asked:
"Did you track her reading level when she first started?"
They hadn't. So I told them:
"Do me a favour—complete a Fast ForWord assessment today, then compare it to her baseline."
A week later, they emailed me back:
"Wow. Her fluency is smoother, her comprehension is faster, and she doesn't struggle nearly as much as she did at the beginning.
We thought she wasn't improving… but we just weren't paying attention to how much better she'd actually got."
This is why tracking progress is so
powerful. If you're not measuring it, you won't see it.
So here's your next step:
Start using Fast ForWord today to track your child's reading progress. The programme provides built-in assessments and progress monitoring. Save the initial results. Don't judge them. Just get a snapshot of where your child is now. In 90 days, check the progress again—and
compare.
You can measure progress quickly using our
- Reading screening tests
- Weekly progress reports
- Before and after recording
You might be surprised at just how far they've come.
Enrol in Fast ForWord today to get weekly and quarterly check-ins so you never lose sight of the progress your child is

PPPS: Here's a review Karen left a few days ago:
“I was looking for a reading intervention that would take my child bit by bit to being a better reader.
Fast ForWord has done just that!
It introduces new skills steadily in a broken down fashion that builds to something impressive.
It also emphasises that
trying new things versus mastering one thing before moving on is key to expanding abilities and I have found that to be true.
And I love the way her attention skills got so much better. Highly, Highly recommend!!!!!”
