Our programs are uniquely placed to be effective because they are all grounded in scientific evidence-based practice.As a research initiative of Macquarie University, MultiLit's publications, professional development and Literacy Centres are continually informed by an ongoing program of research. The research team is led by Emeritus Professor Kevin Wheldall AM.For 25 years, MultiLit has provided assistance to thousands of students in a variety of settings, including schools, our own Literacy Centres and community-based literacy projects across Australia, New Zealand and Asia.Nearly half of all Australian primary and secondary schools have at least one MultiLit program or product.MultiLit has as its core belief the conviction that effective instruction is the key to growth in any area of the curriculum. Our aim is to bring about rapid learning by whatever means scientific research has shown to be the most effective. We subscribe to a continually evolving approach to literacy instruction, changing as more scientific evidence becomes available from either within the MultiLit research team or from the international scientific reading research community.MultiLit emphasises a data-driven approach to education, employing programs of proven efficacy and continually collecting data on the effectiveness of the programs deployed. Our mission is to bring about major educational change so that far fewer children are left to struggle in school with inadequate reading and related skills, the skills essential for academic success in all areas.
