AchieveReading
 Designed for at-risk students and English language learners who have difficulty achieving at grade-level in reading, our AchieveReading program strengthens overall aptitude through skill-based instruction in alphabetics, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and more. Teachers use a diagnostic-prescriptive approach driven by Individualized Learning Plans to identify skill gaps and target the specific deficiencies of each student.
Each engaging lesson is fortified with before-, during- and after-reading activities, and presented in a shared, guided, and/or directed reading-thinking activity instructional format. AchieveReading teachers use confidence-building techniques such as providing immediate feedback, choosing skill-appropriate books, scaffolding instruction, and encouraging critical thinking — all with an eye toward keeping students motivated and interested in reading.
AchieveEnglish
 With AchieveEnglish, English language learners build far more than basic grammar skills — they receive ELP-standards-based instruction that enables them to communicate in social settings and develop overall academic proficiency. The result? Increased overall academic success across all major subject areas.
 Students bolster their proficiency in crucial English literacy skills, including phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, comprehension, and more. In each activity-rich lesson, AchieveEnglish teachers focus on the four critical steps in ELL-skill development — demonstration, guided practice, independent practice, and delayed practice. Students have the opportunity to say, read, write, and demonstrate understanding of words, sentences, and forms — all in a comfortable and supportive learning environment.
 AchieveMath
 Catapult Learning’s AchieveMath program helps struggling learners improve their math skills — from basic concepts and computation, to problem-solving, data collection, and more. Built on sound research conducted by the National Research Council, AchieveMath helps even the most reluctant students build confidence and increase their understanding of mathematics.
Our systematic and predictable lesson format keeps students on sure footing and comfortable with new concepts. New skills get introduced sequentially within and across grade levels — and each lesson is scaffolded using a variety of concrete manipulatives, followed by pictorial representations and algorithms, and hands-on application.
AchieveWriting
Introducing a truly hands-on approach to helping students build important written composition skills. AchieveWriting enables students to not only understand and explore each step in the writing process — from prewriting to final draft — students even produce their own books to share with family and friends!
Scaffolded instruction in informative, descriptive, personal, narrative — even poetic writing — helps students apply their new skills to various subject areas and increase their success in the classroom. By tapping into their existing knowledge, teachers build the vocabulary and spoken languages skills the students already have to help them become stronger writers. Each lesson addresses specific writing skills, and includes a variety of individual and partner activities that help students demonstrate understanding and progress.
AchieveScience
It’s a fact — the wonder of science not only engages students — it can also help broaden their pursuit of knowledge in other academic areas. AchieveScience is a brand new instructional program designed to help students develop basic science literacy and better interpret science-based, expository literature.
  Supported by a variety of inquiry-based and vocabulary-building activities, graphic organizers, and other lesson materials, students strengthen their understanding of concepts in life science, earth science, and physical science. By showing how headings, photographs, and illustrations work together to convey ideas,AchieveScience teachers help students process the information found in science-based textbooks and increase their reading fluency in other subjects.
