Dutch children do not like to read. In terms of reading pleasure, our ten-year-olds are somewhere at the bottom of the international rankings and their reading skills are now below the Western average. What is different in the Netherlands than in other countries? Teacher Henny and school leader Eva tip us off that our testing culture could be to blame. Schools and students are judged on their test results, so that is often what language education focuses on. How does this work? What do children actually learn during reading comprehension lessons? And are there also schools where children do enjoy reading and writing?
