Summary
Reading struggles are hitting hard—national English scores plummeted from 72.5 to 64.2—so educators are launching a bold summer intervention at Westbury Primary. Seventy kids aged 11–13, once reading at first-grade levels, are getting laser-focused help using brain-boosting techniques like “Seeing Stars” and “Visualizing and Verbalizing.” In just three weeks, students like Jayden are tackling two-syllable words and soaring in confidence. Daily small-group lessons, free meals, and transport ensure no one falls through the cracks. This isn’t just catching up—it’s building a stronger foundation for success in secondary school.
