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.
18 Jun - Autumn term training dates now available
If your school or setting needs more staff trained to deliver our interventions, now is a great time to book Catch Up®training for next term. Check our Trainee Discount offers for prices, terms and conditions, and a booking code that could help you save money on the cost of your training places.
Remember that we offer both Literacy and Numeracy interventions, so if you are only using one in your school, next term might be a great time to introduce the other.
16 Jun - 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.
What follows is a commentary on my experience in which I try to give you a taste of the ‘before and after’ picture of the children’s progress, but also a reflection on the characteristics of the intervention that support struggling readers to achieve more than double the progress of typically developing learners!
