MACQLIT

MacqLit is an explicit and systematic reading intervention program for small groups of older low-progress readers who need to develop rapid, automatic and efficient word recognition strategies. That means the primary focus of MacqLit is on phonics, or word identification, supported by connected text reading to ensure skills are generalised to authentic reading experiences.

The teaching of phonic skills is addressed through 122 carefully scripted lessons, divided into nine parts, delivered to small groups by the MacqLit Instructor. 

The carefully constructed sequence of lessons teaches essential skills such as:

  • Letter-sound correspondences presented in an easy to hard sequence,
  • Strategies for decoding multi-syllable words,
  • Prefixes and suffixes, and
  • Generalising component skills through connected text reading.
