Catch Up & Read Information

Catch Up & Read equips at-risk elementary students to read on grade level by 3rd grade. Our organization trains educators to provide research-based, data-driven instruction throughout the school day and deliver teacher-directed after school tutoring for struggling students. 87% of Catch Up & Read students reach their grade level in reading with 81% making double-digit percentile gains in nationally normed scales. Our program consistently outperforms national trends for intervention for low performing students and students outpace DALLAS ISD and State average STAAR reading assessment results. We understand the future of our children and livelihood of North Texas is at risk because only 13% of our 9th graders are on track to graduate by 12th grade. Catch Up & Read can improve these numbers because there is a direct correlation between on-level reading at 3rd grade and high school graduation rates. Catch Up & Read's scalable model provides campus-wide instructional improvements that deliver high-quality education for all students and lasting improvements for our public schools.
