Working memory is an executive function needed to learn math, reading and writing (Engle, Tuhoiski, Laughlin y Conway, 1999). In Peru, we have a high rate of children who can not understand what they read or even can not read as they should for their grade level even though they are at secondary (MINEDU, 2014). In this study we demonstrate how the use of technology through the Fast ForWord neuroscientific program significantly increases working memory levels in its three dimensions, visuospatial pad, central executive and phonological loop in fifth grade students of a private bilingual school in Santiago de Surco, Lima. The results of this study could be replicated and thus achieve a positive impact for realities like ours, where a proposal is needed to reduce the low reading and mathematical performance reflected in the PISA 2012 test (MINEDU, 2014). The study was carried out throughout 8 weeks in which the experimental group (24 students) was exposed for 40 minutes daily during 5 days a week to the Fast ForWord program compared to the control group (24 students) that continued with the free reading period during 40 minutes daily. We consider, it is necessary to continue with more research with monolingual students to see the effect of Fast ForWord on children who are not in English speaking environments, as well as to study the effect of the program on other executive functions.
