Why personalisation works for reluctant readers
Research shows children engage 3x more when the story's about them and what they love. Primary Story uses that principle to break reading resistance — while quietly building the comprehension skills that matter.
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”
Right level, every time
Stories pitched to where your child can actually read — challenging enough to grow, easy enough to finish.
Progress Tracking
Reading age, VIPERS performance, and comprehension skills monitoring
