Some of my pupils need a slightly less rapid Rapid Catch-up! Any suggestions?

Yes, here are some possible different ways to make Rapid Catch-up work for pupils who require a little more teaching or a slightly slowed-down approach:

1. Spread two days of phonics over five days – ideal for children who are completely new to phonics and when you can run reading practice sessions at a separate time.
2. Repeat the whole week – ideal if you can’t run the reading practice sessions at a separate time.
3. Run two phonics sessions every day and the reading practice sessions at a separate time.
4. For wobbly blenders: Teach additional blending practice during the reading practice sessions.
