 One of the single most important things we can do to help low-progress readers is to hear them read every day, for a little as 15-20 minutes, using a set of tutoring strategies known as MULTILIT Reinforced Reading (Revised). We call it Reinforced Reading for three reasons:
- first, because the reader and the reading is supported or reinforced by a trained tutor;
- second, the low-progress reader is positively reinforced for good reading by means of highly specific and contingent tutor praise; and
- third, the learning of sight words and word attack skills is reinforced by the supported reading of real words in real text in context.
MULTILIT Reinforced Reading (Revised) is predicated on the set of tutoring strategies for use with low-progress readers known as Pause, Prompt and Praise (PPP), a technique used and researched extensively since the early 1980s. The new model of MULTILIT Reinforced Reading (Revised) represents a major updating of, and extension to, the original Pause, Prompt and Praise strategies. This new model of Pause, Prompt and Praise has been revised in the light of current research and the findings of the National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy. Our research has repeatedly shown that most low-progress readers can make major gains when this essentially very simple procedure is employed properly on a regular basis. In addition, free resources for supporting and encouraging the implementation of MULTILIT Reinforced Reading in homes and schools have been devised by MULTILIT and have made available in the MULTILIT Toolbox on our website. MULTILIT Reinforced Reading — using Pause, Prompt and Praise (DVD)  MULTILIT Reinforced Reading — using Pause, Prompt and Praise is a training DVD for detailing the skills necessary to provide supported book reading in a one-to-one context using this powerful intervention strategy. This 45-minute DVD program clearly shows how parents and teachers (and others) can help low-progress readers to improve their reading skills. Demonstrations of tutoring sequences provide valuable training support throughout the DVD. Additional components focusing on developing reading fluency and an additional specific comprehension strategy are notable additions to this revised version.
The material in the DVD is presented in the following chapters: - Reinforced Reading
- Choosing books
- Setting the scene
- Pausing
- Prompting
- Praising
- Putting it all together
- PPP-Fluency
- PPP-Comprehension
- Closing comments
