What is an NRS report?
The NRS is based on five levels of competence, each level signifying an increase in the complexity of the language, literacy and numeracy involved, the broadening of contexts in which these skills are used, and the increasing independence with which a person tackles a range of tasks. The NRS also identifies five distinct skill areas: reading, writing, oral communication, learning strategies and numeracy. To help establish the level a person is working at in each of the skill areas, a number of indicators of competence are given for each level. There is additional information at each level (conditions of performance, workplace and social contexts, assessment principles, language, literacy and numeracy features and performance strategies) which assist you to confirm the appropriate level. There is also a wealth of sample activities which help to identify what a person could be expected to do at each level. These activities are grouped into six different aspects of communication.
