Description
The Multisensory Reading Program Level 3A is a 25 unit course designed for students who are having difficulty learning to read, including those with dyslexia. It uses ‘science of reading ‘ principles to systematically introduce the more complex phonemes and their common graphic forms using a multisensory format.
The program consists of 6 interlinking sections:
- General Knowledge
- Phoneme and Vocabulary Development
- Comprehension
- Oral Reading
- A chunking activity containing the focus grapheme(s) which teaches students how to break words into smaller units to reduce the load on working memory
- A phonological processing activity as this is a skill that underpins reading and spelling.
It has been designed so that each section complements and reinforces the other sections, and utilizes techniques based on current literacy and memory research.
It is assumed that students know the basic sound-symbol relationship of the alphabet and have some knowledge of the more common digraphs.
It is recommended that students have a reading accuracy age of between 6½ years to 7 years.

I just wanted to let you know that it is the only thing that has worked for my son with his reading – he is high functioning ASD with some other learning issues. He said recently – why didn’t they just explain it like this in the first place?!

I am loving the book! Your program was recommended to me by a MSL tutor that my daughter was working with as a way to continue on my own. My daughter is homeschooled and was having a lot of trouble with literacy and I wasn’t sure how to help. She’s progressing well now and I’m looking forward to continuing with the program. I especially love the timed reading sections. I think that has made all the difference in stepping up her reading fluency.
