FASTalk is Easy and Works

FASTalk is an evidence-based tool that sparks dialogue between teachers, parents and students about daily classroom learning. Any caregiver with access to a cell phone can engage.

Families receive weekly curriculum-aligned activities sent via text in their home language. The activities are fun and easy for busy families to do anywhere.

​Ongoing parent-teacher communication about student learning is seamless with two-way, automatic translation in 100+ languages.

FASTalk can accelerate student literacy gains, especially when parents do not share a language with their child's teacher.

FASTalk...provides an opportunity for our families to really engage with their children's curriculum, with their extremely busy schedules, and have conversations and correspond with the teacher...right from their phone which makes it very convenient.

My favorite thing about FASTalk was seeing my students' confidence improve because they could now have something to contribute to the conversation going on in class. It was empowering to the parents AND the students.

I liked that it’s a way to keep parents involved with what we’re learning and give them tangible ways to help without me having to spend tons of time writing a newsletter each month.
