MULTILIT in Cape York Schools
MULTILIT in Cape York Schools is designed to embed sustainable high quality literacy instruction across a school and improve student literacy outcomes.
MULTILIT in Cape York Schools is a partnership project between the Every Child is Special program and Macquarie University's MULTILIT.
MULTILIT is a proven form of literacy instruction for low progress students.
MULTILIT in Cape York Schools establishes a MULTILIT tutorial centre in a school to develop sustainable quality literacy teaching. Activity involves training quality MULTILIT teachers, providing direct support to low progress readers, embedding the MULTILIT methodology in regular classrooms, and operating a reading club for parents to read with their child and engage in their learning.
Objectives
- Close the literacy achievement gap of Indigenous students
- Embed MULTILIT literacy instruction within the school: teachers provide effective literacy teaching to all students
- Engage families and communities in the effort to make all students fully literate
