<p>The Edexcel Level 2 Functional Skills reading exam papers follow the same format in each iteration of the exam. In order to succeed in the unit, learners need to master the techniques required for getting the marks offered for each question.</p> <p>This completed L2 reading past paper (Edexcel specification) provides learners with example responses and guidance on the techniques used in order to get the marks for each question. It is especially useful for learners preparing for their final reading exam.</p>

<p>Pack includes:</p> <ul> <li>Diagnostic paper</li> <li>Answer booklet</li> <li>Individual results record sheet</li> <li>Results record usage guide</li> </ul> <p>At the start of a course, when literacy learners are first confronted with a piece of diagnostic free writing to complete, they often neglect to apply basic SPG, despite familiarity with the rules. This can skew the diagnostic process and lead to inaccurate target setting and wasted lesson time.</p> <p>This Adult Literacy English diagnostic assessment overcomes this problem through its utilisation of formative techniques in order to assist learners in completing a piece of free writing that is, in terms of SPG, to the best of their ability, thereby allowing for more accurate target setting. It is quick to administer and is designed to provide tutors with a detailed overview of learners’ strengths and areas for development that can be used by both tutor and learner, in class and out.</p> <p><strong>Works well with English SPG marking mat for ongoing assessment and feedback</strong></p>

It can also be used for peer marking and self-assessment.</p> <p>It works especially well as a whole school approach to improving SPaG and provides an easy approach to embedding English across subject areas.</p> <p>Included in this resource pack:</p> <ul> <li>Marking mat</li> <li>Short PPT lesson introducing learners to marking mat usage</li> <li>Marking mat card sort activity</li> <li>Spoof assessment activity (with solution sheet)</li> </ul>
