8th July 2025 - Using Catch Up® Literacy in the Home - Training for Carers and Parents

Did you know that we now offer bespoke Catch Up® Literacy training designed for foster carers, kinship carers and parents?

Our ‘Catch Up® Literacy Supporting Reading’ training enables our proven process to be used in a home setting to promote confidence and improved skill with reading.

The training includes:

  • Interactive, 3-hour online training course via live webinar

  • Training pack of key documents

  • Advice on reading books

  • Support after training via drop in meetings, email or phone

There are practical activities throughout the training, examples including video clips and opportunities to engage with the trainer and ask questions via chat windows.

We have been delighted to support over 100 carers so far, and many of these have been through our work with Norfolk virtual school.

We spoke to the Norfolk Virtual School Inclusion and Achievement advisor who shared the following feedback with us!
‘Catch Up have worked with the virtual school to tailor the intervention to the needs of its participants. Carers have commented on the positive impact that they have seen through the programme. The organisation of the programme and its resources are outstanding, with everything being delivered in a timely and professional way’
