Progression of Skills in Functional Skills Writing – Editable Planning Tool (Entry Level 1 to Level 2)

I created this resource as a practical planning tool for teachers delivering Functional Skills English Writing from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2. It’s designed to help you see the full progression of writing skills across the levels, with clear objectives, example tasks, and suggested word counts that reflect the national subject content and assessment requirements.

What’s included:

  • A fully editable Word document so you can adapt it to suit your learners and teaching style;

  • A PDF version for quick reference or printing;

  • Writing objectives mapped out step by step from Entry 1 to Level 2;

  • Sample activity ideas for each step, linked to likely exam-style tasks;

  • Guidance on sentence structures, text types, and grammatical expectations;

  • Approximate word counts to support lesson planning and learner confidence.

I use this framework myself when planning Functional Skills delivery, and I’ve designed it to work flexibly, whether you’re building a full scheme of work or just targeting particular gaps in learners’ skills. It’s especially useful for tutors working in FE, adult learning, AP, or home education settings.

Includes:
✔ Editable Word document (DOCX)
✔ Printable/reference PDF
