16th June 2025 - Helping ‘can’t read’ so ‘won’t read’ pupils become ‘can’ and ‘do’ readers

I’ve been a Catch Up® Accredited Trainer for a long time, but last year I volunteered to work with three Year 4 pupils in a small rural primary school for six months. That experience made me realise afresh what a brilliant intervention Catch Up® Literacy is and how it really does ENABLE struggling readers to make the journey to become ‘can’ and ‘do’ readers.

They can then champion Catch Up® from within those meetings and make sure you have what you need to run the sessions. Our experience has shown that the interventions are more effective when senior management are behind them.
