Catch Up and Read with Sam

Catch Up & Read’s mission is to equip children in underserved communities to read on grade level by the end of 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. This gap puts them at a higher risk of falling behind , making it harder to succeed in school and beyond.

Our Solution

Catch Up & Read is 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. We consistently outperform national trends for intervention targeting low performing students.
