About Catch Up & Read

📖 Since 2009, Catch Up & Read has been on a mission to equip children to read on grade level by the end of 3rd grade. Our focus is to empower teachers with evidence-based literacy practices that give 1st-3rd grade children from underserved communities the reading foundation they need to succeed in school and life. Catch Up & Read currently works with 20 Title I elementary schools in Dallas County, training over 150 teachers and providing teacher-directed tutoring for approximately 800 1st-3rd grade students. Last year, 94% of our students grew in reading achievement, significantly outpacing their peers.
