The National Literacy and Numeracy Framework

 

The National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) is designed to help embed literacy and numeracy into all subjects for learners aged 5 to 14 and is statutory throughout Wales.

 

The LNF sets the skills we expect learners to develop. Within literacy we expect learners to become accomplished in:

• oracy across the curriculum
• reading across the curriculum
• writing across the curriculum.
•  

Within numeracy we expect learners to become accomplished in:

• developing numerical reasoning
• using number skills
• using measuring skills
• using data skills.

 

National Numeracy and Literacy Tests

All children in years 2 to 6 take tests in literacy and numeracy in the summer term that are issued by the Welsh Government.

The children sit three tests: reading, numerical reading and numerical reasoning.
