About Catch Up^®

Catch Up^® is a not-for-profit charity working to address literacy and numeracy difficulties that contribute to underachievement.

Catch Up^® offers two structured one-to-one interventions proven to significantly improve the achievement of learners who find literacy or numeracy difficult.

Catch Up^®:

• provides integrated training and resource packages to support the management and delivery of the Catch Up^® interventions
• provides ongoing support, through the Catch Up^® Community, for those who deliver the Catch Up^® interventions to struggling learners
• undertakes research into the development and enhancement of the Catch Up^® interventions, and into extending the support it provides to struggling learners

All proceeds from our training courses, training materials, intervention materials and supporting resources are put back into the development of new interventions, training and resources so that we can help more struggling learners.

The Catch Up^® interventions

Catch Up^® Literacy is a book-based reading intervention which enables struggling readers to achieve more than double the progress of typically developing readers.

Catch Up^® Numeracy is an intervention which addresses 10 key components of numeracy and enables learners who struggle with numeracy to achieve more than double the progress of typically developing learners.

Both interventions are based on rigorous academic research. They involve 15-minute individual sessions delivered twice a week by teaching assistants, teachers or mentors.
