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.
