Would you like your child to continue improving their Dutch through reading Dutch books?
Your child may be ready for this level if:
- They can already read short Dutch texts or stories with some support.
- They can understand or try to use short Dutch sentences in a conversation about familiar topics, such as school, family, holidays, or weekends.
- They are ready to build their confidence by reading Dutch texts and talking about them together.
- They have had some experience with basic Dutch words and sentences and are ready to gently build on that.
- They enjoy learning Dutch through reading stories, as well as through games, speaking activities, drawing, and doing exercises.
- They are 8-10 years old.
During this course, your child will work towards:
- Learning through a programme that is approximately 60% interactive reading and speaking and 40% language exercises, including writing, word games, and puzzles.
- Becoming more confident using Dutch in daily life conversations.
- Reading short stories and texts out loud, with support and encouragement.
- Talking about stories, pictures, holidays, weekends, and personal experiences in Dutch.
- Practising how to make longer Dutch sentences using words like who, what, where, when, and why.
- Practising spelling patterns, word order, question sentences, and words like niet and geen.
- Building confidence to express themselves in Dutch at their own pace.
Across the 3 terms, we aim to read and discuss around 8 Dutch books (AVI Level 3), along with many additional short texts.
