Embedding Literacy and Numeracy Module/Knowing the demands

Background to Knowing the Demands
Mapping a text or task shows you what knowledge and skills a learner would need in order to read that text or do that task with understanding. When you map tasks that are used in your course against the progressions, and compare this information with what you know about the learners (see 'Knowing the learner'), you will be able to determine your priorities and select suitable teaching activities and materials (see Knowing what to do').
