MULTILIT Word Attack Skills Extension Program

MULTILIT Word Attack Skills Extension Program

The MULTILIT Word Attack Skills Extension Program is now available!

  • Do you teach students who have finished the Reading Tutor Program but still need help?
  • Do you teach older students who have learnt basic decoding skills but are finding it hard to improve their reading to a level where they can access the more academic demands of the curriculum?
  • Do you teach older students who are finding reading laborious, lack fluency and have become de-motivated?

After completing the Word Attack Extension component in the MULTILIT Reading Tutor Program many students are able to generalize the strategies they have learnt to all text. However, in some cases students do need further assistance to continue to make progress. MULTILIT Word Attack Extension follows a set hierarchical sequence of skills, focussing on strategies on how to tackle longer words with confidence. This is a follow-on program from the Word Attack Extension component of the MULTILIT Reading Tutor Program but will be of benefit to any older student (aged 8 and above) who is experiencing on-going reading difficulties after mastering basic early reading skills.

Key features

The program takes students through the more complex letter combinations, affixes and multi-syllable words. The same format is used as in the Word Attack component of the MULTILIT Reading Tutor Program with some additional features.

  • The longer scripted intervention demonstrates effective strategies for tackling longer, more complex words.
  • There is a strong scripted spelling component to reinforce reading.
  • A small vocabulary component has been included.

Like the first program, Word Attack Extension needs to be done at least three times a week in conjunction with Reinforced Reading.
