Cito Measurements

Cito measurements 0 and 1 are taken in the bridge class. Cito measurement 0 is taken shortly after the autumn vacations. In it we test what knowledge the students have in the areas of Dutch, English and math. If it appears that there are gaps, support lessons are offered.

Before the May break, Cito measurement 1 will be taken. This will include the math section. Then we will see if the students have sufficiently mastered the material offered in the bridge class.

In grade 2, Cito measurement 2 is conducted in the February/March period. This measures knowledge and skill in the core subjects: Dutch, English and mathematics/math. After each measurement the parents receive the report. The individual and group reports also go to the subject teachers of the core subjects and the mentors.

 

YOU! key

Students who have not yet achieved reference level 2F for language and/or arithmetic in year 2 will take the YOU! test in the third grade. The YOU! test is a diagnostic test used to gain insight into a student's level in language and math.

If even at that point the reference level 2F is not reached, the student is offered practice material in Numo. Numo is a digital learning platform, mainly focused on arithmetic and mathematics to further develop student skills. If necessary, practice material is also offered in Numo in subsequent years, until the student has achieved the appropriate reference level.
