Here at Catch Up, we are so grateful for the regular feedback we receive from deliverers about the difference Catch Up® Literacy and Catch Up® Numeracy make for the learners in their schools and settings. As well as progress in skills, we are often told that learners are becoming more confident, growing in self-esteem and feel more in control of their learning. This is music to our ears!

We wanted to explore this further, and consider what it is about the interventions that enable these positive ‘knock-on effects’!

We asked one of our Catch Up® Accredited Trainers, Ruth Deer, to reflect on this and she has been kind enough to put her thoughts on paper for us!
