Catch Up and Dyfal Donc

Catch Up is a structured Literacy intervention programme for children aged 6-14 who find reading difficult. Supported by schools through-out Rhondda Cynon Taff, Catch Up provides more than 3000 graded books in 12 levels of increasing difficulty. With both Primary and Secondary reading groups available it has proven to be an effective tool which can significantly help struggling readers in just 10-15 minutes twice a week. Each book is stickered with an easily identifiable sticker, so you'll never have any confusion over what you are looking for. Borders Llantrisant is proud to be the only store in Wales with this service available.

For more information, please contact Sarah-Louise Dalley or Jo Buch in the store, or visit http://www.catchup.org.uk/

The Catch Up Workgroups Have finished for the Summer Holidays, and will restart in September. There is a limit of only 10 children, so contact the store to ensure your child's place.
