Since 1998, the MultiLit Reading Tutor Program and more recently, the revised version of this program, has been used successfully by learning support teachers, teacher aides, parent volunteers, speech pathologists, psychologists, educational consultants and tutors.
This Australian developed program covers the essential reading components of word attack skills, sight word recognition and reinforced reading in an interactive, highly explicit and structured way.
A one-to-one remedial reading program, MULTILIT involves minimal lesson preparation on the part of the teacher or tutor and has been shown to be highly effective in helping those low progress readers move forward with their reading.
The MULTILIT program is specifically designed for teaching students in Year Two and above (about 7 years of age upwards) who are reading at a level considerably below what might be expected for their age.
