Strengthening teachers and students with the power of literacy.
Our Mission
Catch Up & Read’s mission is to equip children in underserved communities to read on grade level by 3rd grade so they can graduate from high school and break the generational cycle of poverty.
The Problem
Third grade is a pivotal moment for students as they shift from “learning to read” to “reading to learn”. Yet, less than half of Dallas ISD third graders are reading on grade level.
Our Solution
We are the only North Texas reading intervention program closing the literacy gap by leveraging data and educators to scale proven practices in both English and Spanish. Catch Up & Read is data-driven and results-oriented. We consistently outperform national trends for intervention targeting low performing students.
