My department found these resources hugely successful in empowering students to take ownership of their learning and progress effectively.
This resource comprises 5 Entry Level Assessments.
It contains extracts from 5 novels/novellas in which pupils have to identify and analyse the text according to Entry Level (Reading Paper) requirements. This gives pupils a taste of what may be to come at GCSE level without being intimidating.
Each assessment tests the pupils on similar skills, therefore they can be used to attempt to build upon skills and show continual progress.
