| Definition | This indicator measures the percentage of children aged 8-13 enrolled in Catch-up Clubs who achieve the highest ASER reading level, i.e., 70% in story level with comprehension. |
|---|---|
| Numerator | Children aged 8-13 who had NOT achieved the reading level for the last grade of lower primary at the time of enrolment into the Catch-Up club, who then achieve the highest level, i.e, 70% in story level with comprehension in the Catch-Up Clubs reading assessment (adapted from ASER) |

Recommended Means of Verification
To measure this indicator, the project will need to develop its own reading assessment - letters, words, sentences/paragraphs, short story, and comprehension questions - tailored to the context and in the language of instruction used in Catch-up Clubs, based on the Catch-up Clubs reading assessment tool (which was adapted from the ASER reading assessment). The Catch-up Clubs reading assessment guidance is in this document: https://savethechildren1.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/what/education/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7B51456921-18A1-4D95-8C9E-42CE7E83A3AB%7D&file=MEAL%20Education%20Tools%20Page.docx&action=default&mobileredirect=true.
To calculate this indicator, divide the number of children aged 8-13 who had NOT achieved the reading level for the last grade of lower primary at the time of enrolment into the Catch-Up club who then achieve the highest reading level (i.e. 70% in story level with comprehension) by the number of children enrolled in Catch-Up Clubs aged 8-13 AND who had NOT achieved the reading level for the last grade of lower primary at the time of enrolment. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
