Many schools face the challenge of supporting older students who are skill developing foundational reading skills — without giving them materials that feel too young or disengaging.

 

Catch-Up Phonic book series designed specifically for older struggling readers in upper primary and secondary settings.

​

These books:

• Are written at an age-appropriate interest level, while maintaining a younger, accessible reading age

• Provide structured phonic support suitable for intervention and targeted literacy support.

• Help students build confidence and fluency without the stigma of early reader texts.

• Support the transition toward independent reading, including readiness for chapter books.

• Are one of the few schemes written specifically for older students who need catch-up phonics support.

​

The series can be used flexibly across:

• small-group or individual intervention

• classroom support programs

• learning support and wellbeing settings

​

These resources are designed to met students where they are — while respecting their age, interests and dignity as learners.’
