Vitamins that boosted student’s brain power

A secondary school has claimed to have improved their students' reading and writing
skills by giving the children vitamins.

Children took the vitamins and had three extra lessons during the three months
experiment. The children who took the vitamins could read and write better than those who
didn't. The children were also able to concentrate better on their homework.

The children were tested on their reading and writing skills before and after the
experiment. Teachers found that after the experiment 58% of the children had improved their
reading skills and 38% had improved their spelling and writing skills.

Teachers believe that the experiment shows how a poor diet with not many vitamins
affects children's learning. The school now has lessons teaching the children how to eat healthy.

EXAMPLE ANSWER: B

0 The article is about vitamins that boosted teacher’s brain power.
