Taalhulp op Maat: Verwijzing en Differentiatie in de Brugklas

This article desribes the implementation of a screening test of text comprehension in five secondary schools. The test results yield diagnostic information about the individual's reading style, which may be either compensating for a lack of word knowledge, or a 'bottom-up' reading style without bringing about meaning on the textual level. The typology of readers is carried out with the aim of improving the different reading problems by follow-up reading and language programs tailored to the specific individual needs. The schools apply different models of remediation, dependent on the different logistic possibilities and on the numbers of weak readers. It appears that 'remedial teaching' and the 'integrated model' conditions yield the best results.
