School offer · Print Catch-UP + digital media centre
Buy the books. Unlock the whole media centre.
When your school takes Kidscatchup Catch-UP workbooks, you don’t only get paper —
you get a school-wide digital twin on the live platform:
live classes, learner join codes, narrated stories, workbook exercises, and CAPS SBA reporting.
One licence code (order confirmation or QR card in the pack) unlocks the matching programme
for your entire media centre — not one seat per child.
The book-buyer advantage
Standalone media-centre packages can run to thousands of rands per month.
Schools that take Catch-UP print packs get the matching digital companion licence —
activate once, use on shared lab machines, rotate whole classes.
That’s the steal: CAPS paper LTSM + classroom OS for the cost of taking the books seriously.
Printed book ↔ online twin (same content)
Screens and pages from
games.fmedia.co.za
— same order as the printed workbook: story, worksheet, then check.
Reading Catch-UP (Book 1 · Foundation Phase)
Printed cover + matching Book 1 story art from the live catalogue.

Why this matters for schools: teachers don’t invent a second curriculum.
Learners practise the same CAPS Catch-UP path on paper and in the media centre —
then the platform records progress for class reports.
What one book licence really buys you
From the live platform at
games.fmedia.co.za
— the digital twin of the printed Catch-UP series:
Typical edtech stack (elsewhere)
- Per-learner or per-device subscriptions
- Content that doesn’t match your LTSM cupboard
- Teachers rebuild lessons from scratch
- Reporting bolted on later (or not at all)
- Print books still ordered separately

Platform product copy (live system):
“Digital media-centre companion licence for schools that have purchased the printed Catch-UP workbook.
Unlocks assessment and class sessions on games.fmedia.co.za.”
Licence SKUs map 1:1 to each programme (e.g. Reading 1, Phonics 1–3, Maths 1–2, Literacy, Afrikaans…).
The LMS must never replace the physical workbook.
Every Catch-UP book becomes a living digital twin:
same pages, same sequence — with classroom orchestration, narration, assessment, and insight layered on top.

CAPS · LTSM honesty
Catch-UP is supplementary LTSM for Foundation Phase (R–3) and Intermediate Phase (4–6).
It supports CAPS English, Mathematics, Afrikaans and related skills —
it does not replace the full DBE/GDE prescribed programme.
Digital sessions are designed to support term SBA portfolios under educator supervision.
Why book buyers win
| Need | With Catch-UP books + digital unlock | Buying “LMS only” elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| Classroom paper | Yes — CAPS Catch-UP LTSM in hand | Often separate / not included |
| Media-centre software | Activated with book licence code | Monthly platform fee stack |
| Lesson planning | Same sequence as the book — zero rebuild | Teachers map content themselves |
| Learner seats | Shared devices · room codes · rotate classes | Often priced per learner |
| Evidence for SGB / CSI | Class reports + SBA-style bands | Varies — rarely tied to your LTSM brand |
Learner names and progress support classroom assessment under educator supervision — not marketing.
Schools should use staff-managed registers only.
Make the book order do double duty
Paper for CAPS classrooms. Digital for the media centre.
Same titles. Same sequence. One activation.
