=Welcome to the Province of New Brunswick District 10 ILF Fast ForWord Project.= This research collaboration is a joint project among classes in Grand Manan Community School, St. Stephen Middle School and Campobello Island Consolidated School, to improve reading comprehension and writing skills among our students. To improve reading comprehension, students will be using the program Fast ForWord, by Scientific Learning Inc. The initial research will take place over a twelve week period, with students using the program for forty minutes a day. Students' reading comprehension level will be established at the beginning of the project by using Gates MacGinitie form 3. At the end of the project, students reading comprehension will again be tested by Gates MacGinitie form 4, to measure any improvement. Two classes have been selected to give the study two control groups, one grade nine class in Grand Manan Community School, and one grade seven class in St. Stephen Middle School.

Five teachers are actively participating in this research project: Robert Griffin, Project Lead and Grade 9 LA Grand Manan Denise Perron-Green, Grade 7 LA Grand Manan Leanda McQuaid, Grade 7 LA Grand Manan Josh Cheney, Grade 7 LA St. Stephen Diane Woodworth, Grade 9 LA Campobello The control classes are Mr. Lee's Grade 9 LA class in Grand Manan, and another of Mr. Cheney's Grade 7 LA classes. This wiki will be a forum in which teachers and students can reflect on the the process and implementation of the Fast ForWord learning research project in the regular classroom.
