French for Everyone Junior: 5 Words a Day
- 52 weeks of beginner French vocabulary for elementary students
- Includes free audio files to guide pronunciation
- Self-check feature provides the learner immediate feedback
I love this series for students who want to explore a variety of languages! Choose from French, German, or Spanish. The books are bright and cheery with colorful illustrations. A clever feature using a flap attached to the covers allows the reader to self-check what they learned that day.
Each week is color-coded, and daily activities are labeled day 1, day 2, etc. Students write the daily words they learn and there is a review on day 5. There are 52 weeks in all!
The emphasis is on learning vocabulary words and simple phrases. With the help of free audio through a link to the publisher’s website, your student can hear words pronounced clearly and correctly.
Topics include numbers, food, colors, family, body, clothing, sports, a nice mix of adjectives and regular verbs, and more. The books are consumable. 240pp. ~Sara
Packed with fun and useful everyday vocabulary, this French workbook for beginners will capture the imagination of young learners and encourage a love for learning their first French words.
Discover the perfect introduction to French for children ages 6-9. It’s the ultimate French lesson for kids! It includes:• Beautifully illustrated scenes that teach and test five words at a time. New vocabulary is practiced again at the end of each week in two pages of exercises.
• Clever flaps on the jacket that cover the scene so your child can practice what they have just learned.
• Uses the effective rote-learning method to teach new vocabulary.
• Teaches a range of nouns and verbs that are useful in everyday life. Audio is available online and via a handy app to help with pronunciation.
Help your child learn French
From colors, numbers and fruits to animals, sports and weather, just about every subject in the French language is covered in eye-catching, illustrative detail. French for Everyone Junior presents your child with five new words to learn and practice each day for four days, then tests these words through a variety of interactive exercises at the end of the week. Over the course of one year, your child will build up a vocabulary of more than 1000 French words.
This unique French teaching guide encourages parents, teachers and children to work together as a team to grasp all aspects of the French language. Incredibly easy to use, it includes daily “test yourself” activities with cleverly designed flaps that hide the words your child has just learned, and helps ingrain those words in their memory. Accompanying audio means that kids are also able to practice their French pronunciation as many times as they want.
You WILL learn new vocabulary with this series. You will NOT, however, be fluent after one book. That said, what a low-key way to explore new languages with your young learners! Students can use the books independently using the free audio component and the self-correcting flaps. You really do need the audio for correct pronunciation as there is no phonetic help shown with the words. There is a list each day to interact with and pages are clearly labelled with week 1-day 1, week 1-day 2, etc. You use the inside part of the front and back covers as flaps to test yourself on the pages. It's a clever design. You could use something like this with a program such as SongSchool Spanish or Whistlefritz French to expand your repertoire. But I quite like the idea of using them as language exploration to see if your student would like to take a deeper dive into a language. Consumable. ~Sara
