The activities are designed specifically for struggling readers. Consists of graded reading and spelling activities based on the Catch Up High Frequency Word Lists, rimes, initial digraphs, picture-cued nouns and story words. Included are: picture and word rhyme matching, onset and rime, look/listen, cover, write, check spelling, word and sentence sequencing and speed spelling. Set in five appealing games with vivid appealling graphics. From Escape from Spooky Castle through to Rally Racing, research has shown that this software can produce high motivation and concentration levels, sustained periods of independent practice and consolidation and improved reading and spelling of high frequency words. The Catch Up CD ROM is an additional supportive resource to the core Catch Up programme.
