Catch Up® is a not-for-profit charity working to address literacy and numeracy difficulties that contribute to underachievement. We offer two structured one-to-one interventions, Catch Up® Literacy and Catch Up® Numeracy, proven to significantly improve the achievement of learners who find literacy or numeracy difficult.
Dear All,
As we reach the end of 2024 and take time to reflect upon the year, we recognise that it has been a very busy one for many of us, and a year of changes.
We have bid some of the team a very happy retirement during the year, but have also welcomed many new trainees to deliver the Catch Up® interventions and been pleased to have past trainees return to delivery as well. As schools continue to work tirelessly on closing the attainment gap, in a challenging time, we know that the Catch Up® interventions can support progress, and with your help the word is spreading.
19 Nov - Lynne's logic - Multiplication
Here is another blog from our much missed Lynne Startin. This blog was last issued in 2017, so we felt a re-issue was much over-due. We hope you find it helpful.
Well, multiplication is the name of the game today, (cue a song for any oldies reading this!).
I remember attending a workshop led by a well-respected mathematician, who began by telling us multiplication does not exist in nature. Shock, horror! But I later understood what he meant. Do you agree?
