MULTILIT - a method of supporting struggling readers
Through my studies and talking to other SPED teachers I have become aware of the value of MULTILIT - which is a programme devised at Macquarie Uni which helps students from Year 1 who are struggling with literacy. It is a step by step programme that you run for 30 minutes a day for a 10 week period. I am aware that St. Joseph's at Kingswood use MULTILIT and I am going to approach Ros Wheaton to see if I can go there and see the programme in action. It would be wonderful to have a specific programme that reinforces or re teaches those skills that some children need to have repeated frequently. I feel that by investigating this programme I can support those students who need more intervention than what we offer in reading groups.

I think the investigation of this resource will be invaluable for those students who are struggling with Literacy. I too would like to base my project around immersion of struggling students in intense and regular Literacy sessions.
