Step up to English helps Entry Level students build basic and relevant literacy skills and is suitable for students of all ages. The specification is fully co-teachable with GCSE English Language. It offers two ‘Steps’: Silver Step (Entry Level 1 and 2) and Gold Step (Entry Level 3) so centres can tailor the specification to the needs of their students. The two step approach is ideal to build confidence and provide access to the new GCSEs. The specification will encourage Entry Level students to develop the skills they need to read and understand a range of texts as well as to write clearly, coherently and accurately using a range of vocabulary and sentence structures. The qualification can be tailored to students' needs through either Silver step or Gold step. Silver step is aimed at Entry 1 and Entry 2 students and Gold step is for Entry 3 students looking to progress to GCSE. They have provided clear progression and GCSE-ready level descriptors.
