Kinderen uit groep 3 gezocht voor deelname aan Project Leeswinst
Comments Off on Kinderen uit groep 3 gezocht voor deelname aan Project LeeswinstHet nieuwe schooljaar is weer begonnen en we zijn nu op zoek naar kinderen uit groep 3! Wil je een bijdrage leveren aan de vroege voorspelling van leesproblemen? Doe dan mee met ons onderzoeksproject!
Wat houdt het in?
- Jullie komen naar één van onze EEG labs.
- Je kind leert letters uit de taal van ons Leeswinst monstertje en doet korte taalspellen.
- Je kind mag samen met een vriendje/vriendinnetje meedoen of alleen.
- Het duurt ongeveer 2 uur inclusief pauzes.
- We maken er een gezellig uitje van!
Wat krijg je ervoor terug?
- Leeswinst junior onderzoeker diploma
- Een leuk cadeautje
- Reiskostenvergoeding
- In 2025-2026 organiseren we een kindcongres waarin we de resultaten van ons onderzoek met ouders en kinderen delen.
Waar zijn de EEG labs?
In Maastricht, Amersfoort en Amsterdam

PAS festival 7 september
Comments Off on PAS festival 7 septemberDo you want to know more about early prediction of reading problems? On september 7th, Milene Bonte gives a lecture at the PAS festival in Maastricht!
19:30 – 20:00 – Nederlandse lezing
21:00 – 21:30 – English lecture
Children’s reading skills vary widely and reading problems (dyslexia) are only diagnosed after they have developed. Can we improve early prediction of reading problems? What can we learn from brain research? And why is it important to understand individual differences in learning potential, rather than simply relying on static snapshots of knowledge?
For more info about the lecture and the full PAS program (6-7 Sept), see https://english.pasmaastricht.nl/

Start Project Leeswinst
Comments Off on Start Project LeeswinstIn April, we started the first measurements in Amersfoort and Maastricht. We are super happy with our first ‘junior researchers’! One of the participating parents shared a great impression on LinkedIn and Facebook.
Do you have a child in groep 2? Then sign up for Project Leeswinst via dyslexie@maastrichtuniversity.nl or via the ‘Get Involved’ button on the website!
Team training Project Leeswinst
Comments Off on Team training Project LeeswinstIn February, the research team of Project Leeswinst came together for a training day! Our team of students, PhD candidates, and coordinators went through all procedures together and practiced on each other. We were trained for EEG data collection and administering neuropsychological tests on children. We specifically focused on ways to make the research as enjoyable and comfortable as possible for young children. For instance, with children, we use a smaller EEG cap with fewer electrodes and demonstrate the cap application first on a stuffed toy.
Due to the diverse backgrounds of our team members, everyone was able to contribute in their own way to the training. It was an informative day, and we are looking forward to kicking off with our enthusiastic team!
Wanted: participants for ‘Project Leeswinst’!

Predicting reading problems at preschool age?
Leave a CommentWe currently cannot accurately predict which children will develop problems in learning to read. There simply isn’t a clear measure for it. If it’s up to Professor Milene Bonte, that will change in a few years. Thanks to the Vici grant she secured, her lab can develop a digital task for preschoolers with fictional symbols and sounds. This learning task should provide a reliable indication of the child’s learning potential. Based on this, the teacher can determine if the child needs additional support. Milene Bonte and Hansje Planjer, Manager of Care and Education at IJsselgroep and a member of the Policy Advisory Committee of the NKD, will discuss this further.
