ACT® WorkKeys – Workplace Documents – Leveled

ACT WorkKeys Workplace Documents is a single-semester course that focuses on the skills you’ll use to read and write documents while at work. These documents, which range from basic to complex, include emails, letters, directions, signs, bulletins, policies, websites, contracts, and regulations. This course is divided into five units that teach skills that increase in both difficulty and complexity to mirror the Workplace Documents assessment.
In units 1 and 2, you will identify the main idea and specific details of straightforward, basic documents. You will need to comprehend instructions and procedures so you can apply the information to situations similar to those found in the documents. In unit 3, you’ll focus on developing the skills needed to use context clues to understand unfamiliar words, including jargon and technical terms. The documents in this unit will be longer and will include extraneous information. In unit 4, you’ll infer implied details from more complex documents and identify the rationale behind a document. Finally, in unit 5, you’ll use the skills you’ve learned throughout the course to read very complex documents that include complicated information and difficult vocabulary. Each lesson carefully explains concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. Activities and tests will help you practice what you’ve learned.
