French Phonics -Alphabet Activity Sheets-Science of Reading Phonemique-French

By La trousse de Madame

Alphabet pages are a NO PREP printable activity that align with the Science of Reading with vocabulary that contains the target sounds for K-2 French students. Each page helps students build phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and endoding and decoding skills with sweet graphics and easy to read fonts. Build a strong foundation in French language with educational resources designed specifically with your students in mind!

What’s in my workbook?

-In each page, you will find a large bubble letter, upper and lower case, for students to colour or trace inside the lines.

-A section for identifying upper and lowercase letters by colouring the appropriate boxes.

-There is a section for tracing letters in upper and lowercase to build efficiency in printing.

-Students then have a quick little sentence using the target sound by circling the target letter.

-Next is a word practice.

-Finally, the student is asked to colour images that have the target sound.

Option 1:

Alphabet Worksheets have been organised by vowel sound first, followed by the consonant sound letters. Please note the ‘e accent aigu’ has been introduced early in each version.

Option 2:

Alphabet sounds have been organised as they are introduced by the Bien lire, Aimer lire formatting preferred by many French schools in Canada and abroad.

This is done to make it easier to sequence lessons based on the preferred letter introduction sequence.

Alphabet sounds:

-all vowel sounds a, e, i, o, u, y (as i), and e accent aigu

-consonant sounds including hard and soft g, and c

-y as a consonant

-images containing each of the letter sounds

-on sentence of decodable words with primarily simple sounds (complex sounds also present as are some heart words)

Activity Sheets include:

-printing practice

-tracing letters

-upper and lowercase letter recognition

-identifying letters

-decoding sentences

-word recognition

-identifying sound in an image

-find the images with the target sound

Who can use this resource:

-Any teacher using the strategies of the Science of Reading in the K-3 French Immersion classroom, Grade 4-6 Core French classroom.

-Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

-Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

-Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

***1. French SOR Sound Cards

***2. French Decodable Reading

***3. Roles et Responsabilites

2nd Grade Jeopardy Review Game - ELA

By A Teachers Sidekick

This Jeopardy game is a review of ELA content in 2nd grade. The categories include phonics, parts of speech, reading/writing, and content vocab. It is completely interactive. No need to scroll through all the slides, you just click on the points for whatever category that you like and it will take you right to the question.

This would be a great product for a review at the end of the year for 2nd grade, practice during summer school, and even a pre-assessment for 3rd grade to see what you students know coming into the school year.

You will need to have a score keeper, and I would recommend splitting students up into teams of 4. I hope you enjoy this product. Please rate and review.

Contents:

  • Teacher Answer Key
  • Hunt 1: 12 Picture/CVC Word Matching Cards (excluding letters k, r, y, q, v, z)

Common Core Alignment:

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3 I can know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3 I can decode regularly spelled one-syllable words.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3A I can know the spelling-sound correspondences for common consonant digraphs.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3.B : I can associate the long sounds with the common spelling for the five major vowels.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3.C: I can know final -e for representing long vowel sounds.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.3.A: I can distinguish long vowels when reading one-syllable words.

How it Works:

  1. Students may start at ANY card with their pencil and paper on a clipboard. If this is too much to carry: Adjust the activity, by “hiding” the cards around the classroom writing surfaces such as tables and desks and have a pencil at each station.
  2. Write the number of the starting card in the top left square.
  3. Look at the picture, say what it is and think about what letters spell the digraph sound.

Phonemic Awareness Cards R-Controlled Vowels

By K3 Homeschool Foundations

Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each vowel so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!

-Includes

-vowels; ar,or,er,ur,ir

-R-controlled vowel words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!
