The first version of the reading tablet was invented in 1897 by head teacher M.B. Hoogeveen from Stiens (1863-1941). The boards and the accompanying reading books were published after Hoogeveen became headmaster in Deventer in 1894 by the Brinkgreve bookstore and publishing company. The basic idea behind Hoogeveen's reading tablet was that pupils would learn to break down words into their own sounds, but also that words could be made by combining sounds. The design was based on the German example[1] and consisted in the first version of two rows with a total of 15 'normal words': words in which the vowels and consonants have their unchanged sound: window, rose, cousin, fire, hole, wheel, door, six, yoke, shovel, foot, buck, axe, egg, onion. Partly because the sounds uu and eu were missing, there was soon a need for a successor.
