The transition between junior and senior school is often a testing time for most young students and over a period of 10 years Dr Paget, in his 30-year research programme into how the brain learns, observed and recorded the changes in learning performance due to this transition.

To help students overcome this transition, Dr Paget designed the Unlock Programme that has helped 1000s of young students cope with this transition. The programme teaches student a set of learning skills that raise their confidence and learning ability to bridge some of the transition fears that exist within the student's mind.

The Unlock Programme consists of:

• Teaching the students 2 new ways of reading that enable the student to extract the meanings contained in text faster and more efficiently than the innate system taught
• By use of the identified key words within a text, we show students how to associate these key words into a conceptual whole to give understanding. It relies upon patterning the 'Brains Power Tools' for learning
• In the last phase of the programme we teach students how to design a feedback and memory system that fits their individual learning style: the outcome is a more confident learner
