Pre-Entry Literacy
Brand new qualifications available from August 2022
In response to centre feedback, Ascentis have designed three separate Awards that sit within the Pre-Entry Level Literacy suite. These units build on the established content of the Pre-Entry Literacy Award *. The units have been devised for learners who have had little interaction with literacy and who may have had little or no experience of formal learning. The qualifications allow learners to build confidence, develop reading ability, improve writing skills, and enhance their overall communication.
The Awards are constructed to offer achievable progress within three areas:-
- Speaking and Listening.
- Reading: Reading Letters, Reading Words.
- Writing: Writing Letters and Numbers, Forming Words
Each qualification has the structure, quality assurance and integrity of regulated provision. The three Awards within Pre-Entry Literacy offer a flexible approach to assessment with defined terms and content. Supplementary resources are provided, as are sample papers and assessment paper templates, to allow centres the flexibility to contextualise and use their own resources.
