Leesschrijfkoppen
Leesschrijfkoppen is a Dutch concept used in journalism and language education to describe the craft of writing headlines that support reading comprehension and writing skills. The term combines notions of leesbaarheid (readability) and schrijfkunst (writing) with koppen (headlines), and it is employed in training and classroom contexts to show how headlines shape how a text is understood and anticipated.
The concept is used in media literacy and language pedagogy to teach both content understanding and writing

Applications include classroom exercises in which students compare headlines with ledes and full texts, newsroom training
