The Building Blocks of Language Learning
Teach French Phonics with this user-friendly and engaging scheme designed to simplify French pronunciation by breaking down words into individual sounds. Whether you’re a seasoned language teacher or new to teaching French, our resources are tailored to make phonics accessible and effective for your learners.
What is French Phonics?
Recent research emphasizes that language teaching should be built around the ‘three pillars’ of language learning: vocabulary, grammar, and phonics. This means phonics needs to be incorporated into language schemes of work. French Phonics lessons are designed to align with these expectations and are a practical, time-efficient way to introduce phonics seamlessly into your existing timetable.
By focusing on the core sounds of the language, this scheme helps learners to connect written and spoken language, empowering them to navigate French pronunciation with confidence and ease. Each lesson is short and interactive, making it easy to incorporate into your regular French teaching or deliver as a stand-alone session. This flexibility allows you to introduce phonics at a pace that suits your learners and curriculum needs.
