At the start of group 7 the reading level has to be at least AVI E6 and in the end it has to be AVI E7. It is important that the speed of reading is fast because they will work a lot on reading and understanding. The level of reading an understanding of the child is very important for the mathematics results on school (story stums are most asked on tests).
For mental arithmetic they have to be able to make calculations until 10.000 and they will start with long division to calculate big dividing sums. In group 7 they will work a lot on word naming and grammar rules, to prepare them already for the ‘Entree toets’ in the middle of group 7.
The reading level at the end of group 7 has to be at least: AVI E7. Being able to read long books and articles is getting more important.
