This unit describes the skills and knowledge to engage with simple and familiar print and digital texts for personal purposes. The required outcomes described in this unit relate directly to the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), (© Commonwealth of Australia, 2012). They contribute to the achievement of ACSF indicators of competence at Level Two (Reading): 2.03, 2.04.
This unit applies to learners seeking to improve their personal literacy skills by developing a range of reading and communication skills associated with engaging with texts. It provides the foundation for future activities associated with engaging with text. Where application is as part of the Certificate 1 in General Education for Adults (Introductory) it is recommended that application is integrated with the delivery and assessment of the Core Skills writing unit VU21303 Create simple texts for personal purposes. The link between reading and writing across the different domains also encourages co-delivery and assessment of additional units, such as VU21302 Engage with simple texts to participate in the community and VU21306 Create simple texts to participate in the community.
