MultiLit Program (Making Up Lost Time in Literacy)

The MultiLit Program delivers direct phonics-based programs that support primary school students who are behind their peers to catch up in reading and early literacy.

On this page:

It uses verified tools to identify student knowledge and skill gaps, and then addresses these with direct, systematic, and intensive teaching of the skills.

The Australian Government has committed $8 million to implement the MultiLit Program in 42 schools from 2021-22 to 2024-25.
