What is LIT By LIT Method?

LIT By LIT Method is an evidence-based reading intervention program created by Nancy Young and Cathy Puett Miller for students in grades K-12 who are reading below grade level expectations. It uses an incremental, systematic and individualized approach to literacy instruction in order to remediate gaps and accelerate student growth in reading.

Key components of the LIT By LIT Method include:

• Assessment to identify student instructional reading levels and target skills for instruction
• Daily one-on-one lessons tailored to each student's needs
• Explicit, sequential and systematic instruction targeting the five pillars of reading - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension
• A focus on mastering skills to automaticity before advancing
• Ongoing progress monitoring to inform instruction
• Lots of practice and immediate corrective feedback
• Instruction across a gradient of text featuring decodable and predictable books to build accuracy, fluency and comprehension

Research shows the LIT By LIT Method helps improve decoding, oral reading fluency, reading comprehension and vocabulary development. The individualized instruction model allows for differentiation and a faster progression through skills for students who require more intensive remediation.
