AVI has to deal with technical reading. When is technically read it to the mechanics of reading, a child can quickly and without error reading a text? Children quickly and (almost) flawless can read, have a high AVI level. Children who can not read quickly, or who are making a lot of mistakes, have a lower AVI level. There are twelve AVI levels. The lowest level is AVI Start. That is the level of children who have just started reading. The highest level is AVI Plus. That is the level of children who quickly and without errors can read a text difficult. Start between AVI and AVI AVI Plus are ten levels: M3, E3, M4, E4, M5, E5, M6, E6, E7 and M7. 'M' means 'middle' and 'E' means 'end'. The figures 3 to 7 indicate in which group that level is reached on average. In Belgium, three group matches 1st grade. According to my 25-year experience in the 1st grade, I would pair the next time the levels. AVI S3 = mid 1st grade; M3 = end 1st; E3 = Dec. 2nd; = M4 mid 2nd; E4 = end 2nd. A good technical reading skills is an essential prerequisite for reading comprehension. After this, short texts, there is a color indicator that suggests approximately the desired reading speed. It is not intended to deter children to practice. So in advance inform the children that the color indicator is not so important. More important is the error-free reading. Danny Billiau
