Literacy First

Develop teacher and leadership capacity to accelerate students’ reading achievement.

A strong foundation in literacy is the key to academic success. Literacy First helps you help your students build that foundation. The results prove it: over 85% of schools that work with the Literacy First program meet or exceed AYP/state standards each year.

Experts from Catapult’s Literacy First program work hand-in-hand with you to develop the capacity of teachers and school leadership teams with our unique program of professional development, coaching, and instructional materials. Let us enable you to improve student performance, accelerate learning, and eliminate achievement gaps in reading and all content areas.

The Literacy First Guarantee

When the Literacy First Process is implemented with fidelity, student reading achievement scores will increase by a minimum 10% per year. If growth goals are not met, a rebate will be paid based on levels of success.
