Once again Held@Home was present at the school.
As mentioned before, a school with children who learn Dutch because they come from another country. In addition, there are 4 different levels in the class, which gives teaching an extra challenge.
What a pleasure to work with children. The nice thing is that the children are already starting to recognize you and spontaneously start telling their story. In Dutch of course, so a good exercise.
We certainly see progress with most students, but we also notice that some have real difficulties with the Dutch language.
The u or uu, the a or aa o or oo etc. and on top of that the onion, oe, ij or egg, it's not all that easy. Repetition is very important and that is why it is nice that we are here.
Due to Corona, the children had to miss classes for weeks and that has to be made up for, especially if you already have such difficulty with the language.
It is pleasant to work one on one or in small groups. Precisely because the children can then ask questions more quickly, they concentrate better and it is more often their turn to read or answer.
In short, we left school with a satisfied feeling and the children have a week's holiday next week. After that we will certainly be there again and help the children where necessary.
