Netherlands, Zaanse Schans, Jan. 2011

In the Netherlands children used to learn reading by means of the "aap-noot-mies- ... " board. The expression "aap-noot-mies" is still a concept in the Dutch language and for many of the Dutch people this reading method was their start to reading books. So my entry for Books Friday is a picture of "aap-noot-mies".

	Mar 03 2011 20:12 GMT senna3 Barbara, it is difficult to find in English an account on this typically Dutch reading method that was used from the end of the 19th century until about 1960 at Dutch primary schools. Some information in English is provided at http://ellenturningpages.blogspot.com/2010/04/reading-for-he-first-time.html Btw, aap-noot-mies = ape-nut-mies, where mies is a girl's name.
