Independent reading

MacqLit Reading Program
The aim of MacqLit is to help those struggling with their reading to catch up with their classmates as quickly as possible.
Teachers or education support staff work with small groups for one session a day, four times a week, using the carefully structured MacqLit materials.
Children will usually need to be in the program for several terms, depending on how much catching up they need to do.
Students also need to get plenty of opportunities to practise the skills they are learning. They do this by reading one-to-one with a trained adult for 20 minutes at a time, preferably daily.
