Tips for preparing learners for the Reading and Writing paper As is appropriate for young learners, Pre A1 Starters Reading and Writing tasks are supported by pictures. It is therefore useful to make plenty of use of pictures when preparing candidates for the test. Give candidates practice in matching words for lexical items to pictures. It is also helpful to practise matching sentences to pictures. You could, for example, ask learners to read texts which describe scenes and then to draw the picture according to the information in the text. Candidates should be told to write only as much as they need to. Children often lose marks because they attempt long answers which provide more opportunities for making mistakes. ✔ Children should be encouraged to spell correctly. Reinforce candidates’ knowledge of common letter patterns in English – ea, ck, ight, ou, er, etc. THE TASK test -1 ◇In this task the candidate reads sentences. There are five statements, each accompanied by a picture, and the candidate has to place a tick in a box if the statement matches the picture, and a cross if it does not. The pictures show either singular or plural objects. HOW TO APPROACH THE TASK ◇ Encourage candidates to read the sentences and look at the pictures very carefully (at least twice), and make sure they know that the mark they put in the box must be an unambiguous tick or a cross – if it looks as if it could be either, they will lose the mark. ◇When introducing new words to candidates, make sure they can distinguish between related words that are commonly confused (e.g. sock/shoe). u Give candidates practice in marking sentences with ticks or crosses to indicate whether they are true or false. ASSESSMENT ◇This part tests the candidate’s ability to recognise the meaning of words, by relating them to visuals. THE TASK test -2 ◇ Candidates look at a picture and five statements, some of which correctly describe the picture and some which do not. Candidates write ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as appropriate. HOW TO APPROACH THE TASK ◇Make sure that candidates are very familiar with action verbs that they are likely to come across in this section (run, ride, walk, play, throw, sing, etc.). ◇Make sure they realise that if any element of the sentence is false, then they must write ‘no’, even if there is an element which is true, for example: The woman is throwing the ball to the girl. The woman must be both throwing the ball and throwing it to the girl for a ‘yes’ answer. ASSESSMENT ◇This part tests the candidate’s ability to read and comprehend text at sentence level. follow us on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/story.php?stor...
