When implementing a literacy intervention within your school, it is important to choose a program that is both firmly supported by scientific research and aligned with the objectives of the school curriculum.

Criteria to support a literacy intervention
In 2013, the Australian Council for Educational Research published a literature review of the literacy and numeracy interventions used the in the early years of schooling. The report recommended that education authorities and schools use rigorous criteria to support a literacy or numeracy intervention.
For an intervention to be supported, the report recommended that the program must:
- align with the learning objectives and syllabus requirements of the curriculum
- have a strong research base to support its efficacy and effectiveness
- include a full costing of the resources required for implementation
The report also mentions that of all the interventions reviewed, MultiLit was one of only two programs that has a reasonably strong evidence base to support its efficacy.
