Literacy and numeracy catch up strategies
Synopsis
This review by the Department of Education explores catch-up strategies and interventions that are used to improve the performance of low-attaining pupils at the end of KS2, updating the original literacy and numeracy catch-up stragegies review undertaken in 2012 and providing an assessment of their effectiveness. These include interventions that have been trialled with KS2 pupils, as well as successful strategies for dealing with younger and older students and how they can be altered and applied to low-achieving year 7 learners.
