Predicting reading problems at preschool age?

We 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.
