Wangaratta High School has a trained MacqLit provider to deliver the MacqLit program to all students who need some help with their reading.
Our assistant works with small groups for up to an hour a day, four or five times a week, using the carefully structured MacqLit materials. The program consists of a comprehensive sequence of lessons that includes all the key components necessary for effective reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
MacqLit has been developed by MultiLit, a research-based initiative of Macquarie University. Many decades of research into reading have shown teachers how best to teach reading and MacqLit uses these research-based teaching methods.
