Description
The Multisensory Reading Program Level 3B is a 12 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. However, the program uses more challenging vocabulary compared to Level 3A.
It is recommended that students have a reading accuracy age of between 7 to 8 years.

We have seen a noticeable improvement in my daughter’s reading speed, accuracy and confidence.
Melanie –
The resources are fantastic and my son is working through them very successfully. His “I will never be able to do it in 15 seconds” attitude has certainly shown some positive change as we have progressed.
Meg –
Today my son said, “This is hard, but fun,” and “I already think this is helping my learning.” This is really is exciting for my son to say this. Anything reading related generally results in lots of anger, including when I did RAVE O with him last year. So thank you for putting something together which is both straightforward and enjoyable. I like that you have used real and interesting words rather than simplifying the vocabulary so much that, first, kids aren’t decoded, and, secondly, they lose interest.
