About this Unit
In this unit, learners will explore ways of working with their children to develop literacy skills both at home
and in school.
Using this assessment pack
As you work through this pack you will explore ways of working with your child/ren to develop literacy
skills. The tasks will support your learning and so it is expected that you will complete all of them and have
them marked. The completed, marked exercises are the assessments on which your achievement of the L1
Working with your Child to Develop Literacy Skills unit is based.
Tracking your evidence
During your course your tutor/assessor will ask you to carry out work either in the classroom, or in your
own time, which you’ll keep as evidence of your learning.
The work you produce (evidence) will be assessed by your tutor/assessor to make sure you’ve covered
everything in sufficient detail. Your evidence could be made up of a combination of:
•
•
•
•
•
•
written work or class notes
products or samples of practical work
case studies
learning logs
video or audio recordings
other appropriate formats suggested by your tutor/assessor
When all of your evidence is gathered together in a file or folder, this becomes your portfolio.
Your centre and assessor may have systems that they use to plan and monitor your assessment. These may
be computer-based (e.g. using ‘e-portfolio’ software) or paper-based (using forms or checklists). These
systems are designed to show how each piece of evidence meets which learning outcomes and assessment
criteria. Reasonable adjustments can be made; for example, if you have writing difficulties, your responses
can be captured orally and evidenced by audio recording.
You will be working to achieve the following learning outcomes:
