NLNLPs V3

National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions V3

During the discovery phase in 2019, ACARA mapped and compared Version 2 of the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions (NLNLPs) with other existing progressions and assessments in literacy and numeracy, and analysed available empirical data from current assessments to identify the level of alignment and any areas for refinement. The process confirmed that the NLNLPs are robust and evidence-based and have been validated using empirical data where available. It also provided evidence to support the need for some refinements to improve the content of Version 2.

As a result of these findings, Version 3 of the NLNLPs was finalised at the start of 2020.

Consistent with Education Council agreement in December 2019 that Version 3 of the NLNLPs be used in online formative assessment initiative, Version 3 has been made available here. This enables interested schools and jurisdictions to access Version 3 if they wish, and allows other schools and jurisdictions that are currently using Version 2 of the NLNLPs time to transition their implementation support to Version 3.

Machine readable learning progressions V3 

The machine-readable files are currently available in a testing environment only as they continue to undergo further development. The V3 machine readable files are to be used as the baseline machine readable learning progressions, with V2 files provided for reference. The finalised V3 machine readable files will be published along with version 3 of the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions on the updated Australian Curriculum website at the start of 2022.
