2027 PP2 Language Activities assessment rubrics should help you plan, practise or review a clear learning goal. This page combines guidance for using assessment rubrics, an illustrative subject example, a follow-up task and general KCSERevision resource links. Adapt the activity to the current curriculum and the learning already taught in class.
PP2 Language Activities: KCSERevision resources
PP2 Language Activities: further practice
Tell a short familiar story using pictures. Invite the child to name a character, describe an action and retell one event in their own words. Keep the activity playful and brief. Let the child respond by talking, pointing, moving or making before expecting a written response.
Planning check — PP2 Language Activities assessment rubrics: Choose an observable feature of performance and compare evidence against its descriptors. Explain the next improvement needed rather than treating a level label as feedback by itself.
PP2 Language Activities: describe observable quality at different levels
A rubric makes the assessment criteria visible before judging the work. Choose criteria that match the task, such as accuracy, use of evidence, reasoning or control of a practical skill. Keep criteria distinct so that the same feature is not rewarded repeatedly under different headings.
- Select a small set of criteria. Identify what matters most in the example below. A criterion should concern something that can be observed in the response rather than an inferred trait such as being clever or working hard.
- Describe a secure response. State the features of a successful answer or performance in plain language. Include the important reasoning, relevant evidence and task-specific accuracy.
- Describe developing evidence. Explain what is partly present and what is still missing. Replace vague labels such as good and poor with a description that helps the learner improve.
- Check consistency. Apply the draft descriptors to a few sample responses. If reasonable assessors interpret a descriptor differently, refine it and discuss what evidence resolves the uncertainty.
Give feedback by criterion, then identify a priority for improvement. Do not invent official scoring bands or certification standards. Any marks or levels used for classroom practice should be identified as local assessment choices and checked against school requirements.
Worked teaching example: listening, sequencing and describing
Illustrative activity: An adult shows three pictures: a child washing hands, eating fruit and putting the peel in a bin. Tell a short story about the pictures, then mix their order.
Task
Ask the learner to arrange the pictures, name an action and explain what happens before eating. Accept pointing or acting before requiring a complete spoken response.
Worked reasoning or expected evidence
Washing hands comes before eating in this story; disposing of the peel follows eating. A successful response connects a picture to the stated action and uses the sequence consistently. The activity checks listening and meaning rather than handwriting speed.
A common difficulty to check
A child may know the action but lack the word. Model the word in a short sentence and invite another attempt rather than treating the hesitation as a failure to understand.
Extend or adapt the task
Change one picture and invite the child to tell a new ending. Record an example of the language used independently.
PP2: move from a model to a small independent choice
Begin with a familiar example and invite the child to make a related choice without copying every step. Ask a brief question such as what comes next, which belongs together or how the child knows. Accept an explanation through talk, gesture or a simple drawing. An adult can read any text that exceeds the child’s current reading experience. Change only one feature when checking transfer. Keep the activity short and describe progress through participation and increasing independence rather than comparing children with a shared score.
Illustrative descriptors for this response
Secure evidence answers the task accurately and justifies the important reasoning. Developing evidence contains a relevant idea but leaves a needed step unsupported. An initial response may identify part of the issue while requiring a prompt to proceed. Adapt these descriptors to the actual task; they are not official scoring bands.
