Guidelines for learners to evaluate and understand unseen 19th Century texts for GCSE English Language. There is also a sample question.

An overview of simple and complex sentences that enables learners to practise these skills.

This resource enables individual learning to be easily utilised by English tutors. Individual learning is sometimes difficult to address in GCSE/Functional Skills teaching. Many tutors still rely on whole class teaching and do not know how to prepare and plan for a differentiated approach. Our Skills Check resources will give tutors the tool to build differentiated learning into their schemes of work. Future material will cover all of the subject areas within the GCSE/Functional Skills English syllabus. These are: Sentence Structure including Capitalisation and correct punctuation. Commas Apostrophes Tenses Vocabulary Spelling Understanding text Planning and drafting including paragraphs Language features Creative and factual writing

A fact sheet to enable learners to recap and revise apostrophe use.

The GoShop series Entry 1 consists of worksheets mapped to Functional Skills standards. Learners have a passage to read and the worksheets have activities based on spelling, punctuation, error correction, reading exercises and writing. Answers are included. Each worksheet features text based on a supermarket and its workers and customers. These are adult focused and so there is, inevitably, some vocabulary linked to adult learners’ life experiences. They are very short and designed to be read in one session. The accompanying exercises may be completed over several sessions. High frequency and irregular words are introduced gradually. Care has been taken to link, wherever possible, the vocabulary and sounds introduced to the recommended structure for Functional Skills. The materials are designed to support practitioners (teachers, classroom assistants, volunteers, and others) working with learners who are working towards Entry Level 1.
