Budlong students are doing very well and showing a huge improvement! 

Keep up the great work!

All second and third grade students are participating in Fast ForWord everyday for forty minutes.  Fast ForWord is patented software specifically designed using the principles of neuroscience to build an individual’s learning capacity.  The Fast ForWord family of products begins with strengthening the foundational cognitive skills of memory, attention, processing and sequencing and continues through to the foundational reading skills of vocabulary, phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, and comprehension.
