L1 Functional Skills English Revision Handout

Major update 17/5/23 written for Legacy FS in 2011 but fully updated to reflect the Reformed Functional English Content. 

This is a handout aimed at L1 Functional English learners. It contains brief guidance on exam technique for the reading exam followed by detailed, updated help with the writing exam. This has tips on maximising marks in the 7 key areas that an examiner looks at (4 areas for composition and the three SPaG areas)
Although written for Level 1 it would also serve as a useful reminder for Level 2 students 

Editor’s notes

Now a  Skillsworkshop Classic English title. When updating this, I used the Edxcel-Pearson Level 1 writing papers mark schemes/grids as guidance for the 7 key areas but the handout can be used for any FS Awarding Organisation.
