MultiLit Literacy Program
MultiLit is a research initiative of Macquarie University, and its products reflect a contemporary approach to best practice literacy instruction as identified by international reading scientists. Rose Park Primary School implements InitiaLit in Reception to Year 2 classrooms, and offers a MiniLit intervention program for small groups of Reception to Year 2 students by trained curriculum SSOs.
InitiaLit is an evidence-based whole-class literacy program which will provide all children with the essential core knowledge and strong foundations to become successful readers and writers. InitiaLit is a three-year program, covering the first three years of school (typically Reception to Year 2).
The MiniLit program comprises 100 lessons, to be delivered 4 times per week in 45 minute sessions. Students are tested to determine the ideal starting point in the program, and are grouped accordingly. Regular assessments will be administered throughout the program.
