At the start of group 8 the reading level has to be at least AVI E7 and in the end it has to be AVI E8. It is important that the speed of reading is fast because they will work a lot on reading and understanding. The level of understanding from from what has been read, is also very important for the mathematics results on school (story sums are most asked on tests).
For mathematics they have to be able to make calculations until 100.000 and they will start with long division to calculate big division sums. In group 8 they will work a lot on word naming and grammar rules, to prepare them already for the ‘Doorstroom toets’ in the middle of group 8.
After winter break there is the last test from primary school; ‘Eind-toets’. With this test the advise from the child can only become higher and cannot go down. This means there is less pressure on this last test and can make the children a bit more relaxed before making this final test.
The reading level at the end of group 8 has to be at least: AVI E8. Being able to read long books and articles is very important. Next to that it’s necessary to be able to make summaries from articles.
For children in group 8 I will prepare their own folder where all the materials are collected.
