NCEA Literacy (Reading) case studies
NCEA Literacy (Reading) · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The NCEA Literacy (Reading) assessment - part of the co-requisite Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau Literacy and Numeracy requirement - is the reading component a learner needs to demonstrate to show they can engage with everyday text at the level expected of someone leaving school. It is intended for secondary students working toward an NCEA qualification and for other learners who need to meet the co-requisite. It is not a subject exam: it does not test literary knowledge or set texts. Instead, it asks you to read short, authentic pieces - notices, articles, instructions, persuasive writing, simple literary or visual texts - and show you can find information, work out meaning, and judge how a text is put together and what it is trying to do. The NCEA Literacy (Reading) case studies are 5 cases and about 2,705 words.
