Literacy & Numeracy in Everyday Life
What is Literacy & Numeracy in Everyday Life?
These activity-based curriculum resources provide a range of life skills contexts to promote the development of functional Literacy and Numeracy skills. They are linked to the pre-Entry curriculum framework for Literacy and Numeracy.
Who is it for?
The resources can be used with learners both pre- and post-16.
What does it involve?
The booklets are each made up of different modules and module activities have been written to focus on three P Levels (3, 6 and 8). The resources can be used:
- as an initial assessment tool to gauge the P Level learners are working at, providing a formative record
- as an activity-based curriculum resource to develop the learner’s Literacy and/or Numeracy skills, providing formative records of achievement
- to monitor the learner’s P Level progress
- to provide evidence of achievement in meeting ILP/IEP targets, providing a summative record of learner achievement
- to provide a basis for planning further targets/personal development
Structure
The resource booklets are made up of nine modules:
- Music
- Food Technology
- Community
- My Centre
- Popular Culture
- Physical
- ICT
- Creativity
- Being Part of a Group
If the learner shows skills in completing activities beyond the stated level, there is a facility within the resource booklets to record this.
While Literacy and Numeracy in Everyday Life can be used as standalone resources, they will also complement the Transition Challenge, Towards Independence and Workright Awards.
Assessment
To celebrate the learner’s achievements, tutors can award an ASDAN Certificate of Achievement for Literacy and/or Numeracy in Everyday Life. These certificates are awarded at the discretion of the tutor. There is no requirement for external moderation, but it is available on request.
