WJEC Entry Level English 2 Past Papers

WJEC Entry Level English 2 builds on the foundational literacy skills of Entry Level 1, assessing learners who can now read simple texts with understanding and write short, clear pieces of communication. Entry Level 2 marks a transition from purely recognising and copying to actively comprehending and composing. Reading at Entry Level 2 involves understanding the main points in a short text of several paragraphs, identifying specific information stated in the text, recognising the purpose of a text (to inform, to instruct, to persuade), understanding some implicit meaning (what a text suggests rather than states directly), and following straightforward written instructions or directions. Texts are written in clear, standard English with familiar vocabulary and deal with everyday situations. Writing at Entry Level 2 requires the learner to write several sentences forming a short, organised piece of communication: a brief letter, a short note, a simple description, or a basic list with explanatory sentences. Sentences should be grammatically complete, punctuated correctly with capital letters and full stops (and beginning to use commas and question marks), and organised so that ideas follow in a logical order. Spelling of high-frequency and commonly used words should be mostly accurate. Entry Level 2 represents a significant step in literacy development and demonstrates that the learner can both understand and produce functional written English independently — the foundation for all further progression in English literacy.
