Skills for Life:the national strategy for improving adultliteracy and numeracy skills
Millions of adults in England need help to improve their literacy, language and numeracy
skills. Skills for Life, launched by the Prime Minister in 2001, sets out the Governments
strategy, which aims to help 2.25 million learners gain a national qualification by 2010.`
Since 2001 a massive 3.7 million adults across England have taken up 7.8 million courses
in literacy, language and numeracy skills. 1,130,000 of these learners have gone on to
achieve at least one first qualification.
Since the launch of Skills for Life, we have gained an even greater insight into the
effect low levels of literacy and numeracy skills have on individuals, their families, on theeconomy and on society. For example, adults with poor literacy and numeracy skills could
earn up to 50,000 less over their lifetime and are more likely to have health problems,
to live in a disadvantaged area or to be unemployed. They and their children risk being
cut off from the benefits of a world increasingly linked through information technology.
Additionally, poor literacy, language and numeracy skills have been estimated to cost the
country in excess of 10 billion a year.
Skills for Lifeis an ambitious strategy that is designed to address literacy, language and
numeracy needs of all adults and young people. It covers all post-16 learners on learning
programmes at levels from pre-Entry up to and including Level 2. These programmes
range from discrete to embedded courses, and from classroom and community provision
to voluntary and work-based learning. Achievement and progress in Skills for Lifeare
recognised through certification of Key Skills, GCSE Maths and English, and adult literacy
and numeracy. It is therefore crucial that the strategy supports and reflects the successful
implementation of all other post-16 strategies. These strategies include Success for All,
the strategy for reforming post-16 further education, and the Skills Strategy, which aims to
ensure that the skills we develop are valuable to young people and valued by employers.
Our goal to improve the skills of young people is also central to the Opportunity and
Excellence 1419strategy, the 1419 Education and Skills White Paper19 Education and Skills White Paper19 Education and Skills White Paper(published
2005) and the Schools White Paper: Higher Standards, Better Schools for All
(published 2005).
Each organisation and individual has a contribution to make. We believe that the most
important element for successful delivery of Skills for Lifeis partnership, together with
the ownership of the strategy by all our key supporting and development partners.

This item was produced as part of a suite of tools to assess learners for Skills for Lifeprogrammes.
The tools were developed as part of a project from 2003-2006. The project was jointly led by Alpha Plus
Consultancy Ltd and BTL Group Ltd on behalf of the Skills for LifeStrategy Unit (DfES).
AlphaPlusConsultancy Ltd and BTL Group Ltd would like to thank all those who took part in the trials and

LiteracyInitial assessment
For use in general, community-based settings
Assessor Guide and Learner Answer Booklet
What is an initial assessment?
The literacy initial assessment tool is designed to indicate the approximate skills level
of a learner up to, and including, Level 2. It forms part of the Skills for LifeLearningJourney, following on from the skills check (previously referred to as the Screening
process) and leading on to diagnostic assessment.
What skills does the tool assess?
The tool is designed to assess a learners skills in:
listening
reading
writing.
All questions address criteria in the Adult Literacy Core Curriculum and national
standards. Questions begin at Entry 1 and increase in difficulty to Level 2. Questions
relate broadly to everyday domestic and community settings.
There are 40 questions altogether.
Dictionaries are notallowed.
How much time will be needed?
Initial assessments are not tests and are not timed. Learners should be encouraged

to finish in their own time and not to rush. However, 5060 minutes should prove
adequate in most cases. Many learners will require far less time than this; a few may
need a little more time. Assessors should look out for learners who appear to be
having problems and invite them to stop.
Who should supervise the initial assessment?
The assessments should be conducted by fully trained individuals. The interpretation
of the assessment results and feedback should be overseen by an experienced
Skills for Lifepractitioner.
Under what conditions should the assessment take place?
A room (or reasonably private space) is needed in which learners can complete the
assessment undisturbed. Learners will require:
tables and chairs
copies of the learner answer booklet
CD players or cassette players with headphones, where necessaryblue/black pens.
How should the tools be introduced to learners?
Explain:
the purpose of the initial assessment and why the information it will provide willhelp the learner(s)
that this is nota test and that all results are confidential
that the learner(s) should try to answer as many questions as they can
that they can take as much time as they need but that 5060 minutes should
be enough
that they should stop if they get tired or are finding the questions too hard
how to use the CD or audio cassette player and headphones.
When ready, read out the brief instructions on the first page of the learner
answer booklet.

What needs to be done during the assessment?
Ensure that everyone is coping with the audio CD or cassette player
and headphones.
Ensure that everyone is coping with the questions. Keep an eye on proceedings to ensure that the assessment is going smoothly
and look out for learners who appear to be struggling.
Invite learners who are experiencing difficulties to stop.
Provide assistance for anyone with a known disability.
What needs to be done at the end of the assessment?
Collect in the learner answer booklets.
Thank learners for taking part and explain what will happen next, namely that
you will mark the answers and give feedback on the results as soon as you can.
Mark the answers using this guide and enter a score on each page of the
answer booklet.
Add up the learners total score. Please double check the scores and make sure
that you have added them correctly.
Read off the table below to determine the level attained.
Note: learners with 4 marks or fewer are judged to be working towards Entry level.

What feedback should be given?
All learners should be given feedback on their performance.
As a minimum, they should be told the level they have attained.
The Adult Core Curriculum reference for each question is included in this assessorguide so that an assessor can provide more detailed feedback, if required.
It is important that feedback is treated with complete confidentiality and
considerable sensitivity, and that learners are clear that the initial assessment is
simply a stepping stone to more thorough diagnostic assessment.
Are the tools suitable for all learners?
This tool includes a range of questions designed to assess skills from Entry 1 to
Level 2. It is not designed to identify individuals operating at pre-Entry levels or at
Level 3 or above. The tool is linear: the questions become progressively harder. As a
result, the assessment could prove off-putting for weaker learners if it is not dealt with
sensitively. An experienced assessor will soon learn when to halt the assessment,
if necessary.
What about English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) learners?
The tools are not designed to cater specifically for ESOL learners. Separate ESOL initial
assessment tools for speaking and listening, reading and writing are available from
the DfES.

Are the tools suitable for people with disabilities and/or learning
difficulties?
It is a requirement of all Skills for Lifeteaching that each learner be treated
according to their needs. This principle applies to assessment as much as to anyother aspect of the Learning Journey, but it may raise particular issues regards
learners with disabilities. These tools have been designed to be used with as wide a
range of learners as possible.
For learners with physical disabilities, you will need to consider well in advance what
adaptation to the tools you may need to make (e.g. enlarging the print). Questions
can be read to learners if necessary. However, you must be careful not to read the
question or use another language in a way that guides the learner to aparticular answer.
Assessors may sit alongside learners and enter answers on their behalf, if needed.
The important things to remember are that these are not tests and that their purpose
is to determine skill levels. As long as assessors are not answering the questions,
any reasonable help is permitted.
Learners with learning difficulties may, however, find the tools challenging, especially
if they have severe reading difficulties. The experienced assessor will need to judge
the suitability of the tools for each learner.
The next step: diagnostic assessment
After this initial assessment it may be appropriate for learners to undergo a more
detailed diagnostic assessment.
Diagnostic assessment is an evaluation of a learners skills, strengths and
weaknesses. This is carried out with the assessor in either an individual or group
setting. This assessment gives a thorough indication not only of the individuals level
at that precise moment, but also of the specific skill areas that they need to improve.

As part of Skills for Life, the DfES funded the production of diagnostic assessment
materials and learning materials referenced to the national standards and curriculum
documents. These diagnostic assessment packs are available from DfES Publications
(as is another publication, Introducing Access for All, which has useful guidance).
Each diagnostic assessment pack contains:
paper-based task books for the relevant subject
a teacher administration manual for each subject, including pre-Entry materials
a CD-ROM with the full version of all the paper-based tasks.
The best and most efficient way to carry out the diagnostic assessment is to use the
interactive CD-ROM, which automatically prints off the individual learning plans (ILPs)
for the learner. This is a fully interactive tool and is highly recommended.
You can order the materials:
by phone on 0845 602 2260

work was very dull and business was bad. I decided to get out before I got made
redundant. I went to the local college and took a course in floristry. I got a job here
14 years ago and when the owner retired, in 1998, I took over the business. Its
been fantastic. Dad died in 1990, but I like to think he would have approved.

motorway causing a red Fiesta to brake and hit the central reservation. I braked
hard and my car, an Astra, went into a spin. Before I knew it, other vehicles were
piling into me and the motorway was blocked. I was luckier than most and got

Answer:
Applicants must have some experience of caring for young
people either in a family or work situation. Qualifications in
dealing with people with mobility problems are desirable,
but not essential, as training will be given. Flexibility in
working hours is required to fit in with the regular weekend
and evening work rotas.
The work is physically demanding and some awareness ofthe lifting regulations within the Health and Safety Guidelines
is desirable. Applicants will need to be fit and prepared to
undertake some training. This is an unusual opportunity to
gain experience in this kind of work.

aisles, you must have all been extremely busy. I would like

he had no time to collect up all the trolleys that are nowscattered around the car park.
