Why Personalization Works for Reluctant Readers
Research shows children engage 3x more when they're the hero of the story. Primary Story uses this principle to reduce reading resistance while building essential comprehension skills aligned to the UK National Curriculum.
The Science of Reading
Evidence-based literacy instruction combining phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension
AI Personalization
Interest-based engagement turns “I have to read” into “I want to read”
UK Curriculum Alignment
VIPERS framework, attainment levels, and SATs practice for Years 2 & 6
Progress Tracking
Reading age, VIPERS performance, and comprehension skills monitoring
The Result: Children Who Can Read But Refuse to, Suddenly Want to Read More
Our Approach Combines:
- Personalized stories that match your child's interests (dinosaurs, football, space, mysteries)
- Right-level difficulty so reading feels achievable, not intimidating
- VIPERS comprehension questions (Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explain, Retrieve, Summarise)
- Instant feedback that explains the “why” behind answers
What Parents Typically See:
- 1-2 weeks:Reduced resistance to reading time
- 3-4 weeks:Building fluency and confidence
- 4-6 weeks:Measurable progress in comprehension scores
- 2-3 months:Transfer to traditional books and school reading
