Concerned about whether Dutch children are reaching a satisfactory language level, Amsterdam schools have come up with a list of 2,000 words that every child should know by the age of four or five.

According to Expatica:

The city council commissioned the 2,000-word list and wants to ensure that all children are familiar with its basic vocabulary before learning to read and write in the third year of school. The list will eventually be added to the school curriculum at national level.

Sounds like a nice idea. Now I just need to find a way to get a hold of that list…
