Slide 1 - Diapositive

Read Theory: what
Today you you will get started with www.readtheory.org

A website that helps you practice your reading skills 
so you can achieve a higher reading level.

Slide 2 - Diapositive

Read Theory: how it works
You will do a pre-test, which will take between 20-30 minutes. This will determine your reading level now.

Then, the programme will offer you text at and above 
your level. If you improve to a higher level, 
the programme will give you texts of a higher level.

Slide 3 - Diapositive

Read Theory: the rules
  • Score at least 80 to 100 knowledge points every week. 

  • Lexile level stays at or above your pre-test level.
If you do a lot of quizzes poorly, without paying attention, you can get enough knowledge points, but your lexile level will go down. Do this with attention and care

Read Theory: good to know
Grade level: grade 9 in the USA is the 3rd form/class in The Netherlands. Grade 12 is 6vwo. 


Lexile level: is about how complex the text is. A text with more difficult words and sentences has a higher lexile level.


Knowledge points: these are given per correct answer, and if you do a text well you can get bonus points.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Read Theory: good to know
Mastery of ELA Common Core Standards: De vragen die je beantwoordt zijn in drie categorieën verdeeld.

1) Key ideas and details: Zoeken naar informatie uit de tekst. Vragen als: “How much will the new sneakers cost?” or “Who was the FIRST to finish the exercise?” 

2) Craft and structure: begrijpen hoe een tekst is opgebouwd en het gebruik van 
bepaalde woorden en zinnen. Vragen als "Zoals gebruikt in paragraaf 5, betekent het woord 
"Schadelijk het meest ...?" of "Als het volgende stukje informatie aan deze tekst zou worden toegevoegd, in welke alinea zou dat dan het beste passen?"

Slide 11 - Diapositive
