"leesplankje"... "plankje" is the short version of it. And I get exactly the same feeling!
The name "leesplankje" is actually a well-known Dutch word for this:
It was an old method for children to learn to read. It contains all "normal words", words in which the vowels and consonants have their unchanged sound. Every Dutch person should know aap noot mies!
