MULTILIT

__**MULTILIT**__

MULTILIT is a resource used for struggling readers to increase their literacy skills through the use of the MULTILIT products and a proficient tutor implementing the program. I do some volunteer tutoring at a low socio economic school and the teaching plans used are based upon MULTILIT. In the classroom I work with, six students in Year 6 with low literacy levels participate in three 2 hour sessions every week.

Based on the MULTILIT program we work on developing word attack skills, sight words, irregular words, phoneme awareness and reinforced reading. MULTILIT provides a framework for teaching and assessment with guides and assessment material to assess the students against.

However the downside is the amount of money that MULTILIT costs to purchase, the prices can range from $13 for a standalone booklet on Reinforced Reading, through to $365 for a comprehensive MULTILIT Reading Tutor Program box. When looking at costs, the package is not unrealistic with regards to reading resources. Other literacy packages such as a PM Benchmark cost as much as $445.



A worthwhile resource to look at, however some of the materials can be generated using a bit of creativity and a lot of time.
