Description
The Multisensory Reading Program Level 3C 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 utilises 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 3B.
It is recommended that students have a reading accuracy age of between 8 to 10 years.

We have seen a huge improvement in our daughter who is now able to read independently. In term 1, before commencing the program, she was unable to read the text provided by her teacher to test her comprehension. In term 2, she was able to read the text and received a C grade.

My daughter is definitely making great progress with her phonic knowledge. She is also beginning to use syllabification in context with unfamiliar words (e.g., partnered and unsurprisingly) instead of guessing, which is a great relief to me.

Just touching base to say that my son has finished level 3C. In 4 months of work he has improved 3 years and 1 month on the testing. He is literally jumping for joy. He still struggles, but he now has a strong foundation and the tools to move forward with his reading. Your program was the best money we ever spent. We have tried so many things in the past but your program clicked for him and we are truly grateful. So thanks for taking the time to talk me through the program and helping me to navigate it as a parent.

My son is doing amazing with the reading program. He is coming ahead in leaps and bounds and the biggest help has been the syllabification work- I’m super impressed!

My son is picking up on things quite well with this program. We’re finding it great for going back to basics and almost starting again. The resources flow really well and we’re happy with them.

I’m loving the book. I have been working through it with my 10 yr old daughter as she needed something to support her. She’s already doing better, focusing on syllables and not just guessing words. She really likes the comprehension activities and this whole resource has been well received by her. I’ve been teaching for 20 years myself and I’m very interested in the multisensory approach.

My son is very positive about the program and I have found it very easy to follow and implement. He is really enjoying it very much.
