An example level descriptor
Writing: Level 3Pupils’ writing is often organised, imaginative and clear. The
main features of different forms of writing are used appropriately, beginning to be adapted to different readers. Sequences of sentences extend ideas logically and words are chosen for variety and interest. The basic grammatical
structure of sentences is usually correct.
Spelling is accurate, including that of common, polysyllabic words.
Punctuation to mark sentences – full stops, capital letters and question marks is used accurately.
Handwriting is joined and legible.
National Curriculum Level Descriptors
Levels 1- 5 (normal primary range)
Within each level there are 3 sub levels: C (low)

LiteracyAPP as a tool
Assessing Pupil Progress is a tool we use which is on our School Pupil Tracker.
It takes the National Curriculum Level Descriptors and breaks them down into smaller steps.
We use this as a very useful assessment tool.

Level 2 – National Curriculum • Pupils’ reading of simple texts
shows understanding and is generally accurate.
• They express opinions about major events or ideas in stories, poems and non-fiction.
• They use more than one strategy, such as phonic, graphic, syntactic and contextual, in reading unfamiliar words and establishing meaning.
Level 2 – APP In some reading range of key words read on sight unfamiliar
words decoded using appropriate strategies, e.g. blending sounds some fluency and expression, e.g. taking account of speech marks, punctuation
In some reading some specific, straightforward information recalled, e.g. names of characters, main ingredients generally clear idea of where to look for information, e.g. about characters, topics
In some reading simple, plausible inference about events and information, using evidence from text e.g. how a character is feeling, what makes a plant grow comments based on textual cues, sometimes misunderstood
In some reading some awareness of use of features of organization, e.g. beginning and ending of story, types of punctuation In some reading some effective language choices noted, e.g. “slimy” is a good word there some familiar patterns of language identified, e.g. once upon a time; first, last, next,
In some reading some awareness that writers have viewpoints and purposes, e.g. ‘it tells you how to do something’, ‘she thinks it’s not fair’ simple statements about likes and dislikes in reading, sometimes with reasons
In some reading general features of a few text types identified, e.g. information books, stories, print media some awareness that books are set in different times and places

LiteracyTarget setting
Every class teacher sets regular targets for reading and writing. These are designed to help children move
their learning on. The aim is that they will work through two targets per
term although this is dependent on the child.
