Catch Up® Literacy

Catch Up® Literacy is a structured, one-to-one intervention proven to more than double rates of progress for learners who struggle with literacy. It involves 15-minute individual sessions delivered twice a week by trained teaching assistants, teachers or mentors.

Catch Up® Literacy uses a book-based approach to support learners in their reading of a book so they activate both dimensions of reading – word recognition processes (including phonics) and language comprehension processes.

Learners and schools say:

• "I actually go into the library and get books out - even on weekends. I actually sit down and read them, not chuck them around the room!"
• "My reading's much better than it was last time. I'm able to understand words and split them up to read them."
• Child A had 32 Catch Up® sessions throughout the year, and made 28 months’ gain in his reading age, which is a ratio gain of 3.46 based on the period of intervention. His reading age is now 8 years and 6 months – 9 months above his chronological age.
