Learning Support Programs

MiniLit

MiniLit Sage is a literacy intervention program designed for young children who need additional support to develop age-appropriate reading and spelling skills. Each lesson includes two key components:

1. Working with sounds and words, where students are explicitly taught the relationship between sounds and letters.

2. Practice and application, which provides opportunities for children to reinforce their reading skills through a variety of engaging activities and resources.

MacqLit

MacqLit is a targeted reading intervention program for students in Years 3 to 6. Using well-structured materials across 9 stages of the program, it focuses on equipping children with practical reading and spelling techniques.

Eligible students will participate each day in a fifty-minute explicit learning lesson in a small group environment. We are excited to introduce MacqLit to foster greater reading confidence and enhance comprehension skills in our students.
