Using Command Words in Coursework

Last updated 17 Nov 2025

This resource covers the command words used in the internally assessed coursework Units (3 & 4) in the AAQ BTEC National in Early Childhood Development. It is ideal for a student handout or even a classroom poster display.

For each command word:

• The Pearson definition is given, with a simple student friendly explanation of what this requires
• Suitable sentence starters are provided
• A list of 'questions to ask yourself' is listed, to help students reflect critically on whether they have responded in the right way
• It is stated whether the word is used in Pass, Merit or Distinction assessment criteria
