Testimonials by teachers and other education professionals who have used the MULTITLIT Reading Tutor Program.


"I think one of the huge benefits for me has been the simplicity of the programme" I am absolutely delighted at the difference MULTILIT has made to our students. We started 12 months ago with 4 students and now have 11 students on the programme [Year 2-7]. We have seen an improvement in at least 12 months on a standardised test for reading rate. The students are motivated to continue with the sessions and for some of the older students [Year 6 and 7] it was the first time they have completed a novel. Their teachers report that they are now engaged in reading tasks in their classes and are making more suitable book selections for free choice reading. I think one of the huge benefits for me has been the simplicity of the programme. Special education teacher, South Australia

"After around two terms they had completely changed"

We have been using the MULTILIT Reading Tutor Program at our school (K-12) for four years. Our first students participated in the program when they were in Year 6 and are currently in Year 9. We began with 10 low-progress readers attending before-school sessions with teachers and trained parents. Applying the positive teaching strategies we had observed on a visit to MUSEC (Macquarie University Special Education Centre), the students bathed in the feedback they were receiving.

Before MULTILIT these students had rarely contributed in class, were embarrassed about their reading abilities and had low self-esteem. After around two terms they had completely changed. They were excited about learning, were the first to volunteer to read aloud in class (which completely surprised their teachers) and they entered high school much more confident in their abilities. I can't speak highly enough of the merits of MULTILIT.

"When I explain the background and detail of MULTILIT they almost start salivating" The people I talk to in education are very wary of commercial 'reading programmes' with outrageous and unsubstantiated claims, but when I explain the background and detail of MULTILIT they almost start salivating! It is as if they are finally being given permission to apply an approach that they know, at least intuitively so, is necessary for those failing to progress in literacy.

"Staff, students and parents are all commenting on the rapid improvements in students"

The MULTILIT program is working extremely well. Staff, students and parents are all commenting on the rapid improvements in students. Please pass my thanks onto all whose labours have provided us with the program.

"They seek me out for their daily MULTILIT lessons" I have been using the MULTILIT Reading Tutor Program with five low achieving year 5 students. I've now done three-four lessons with them for 20 weeks. Their confidence, spelling skills, reading fluency and interest in literacy is amazing. They seek me out for their daily MULTILIT lessons.
