Decodable Reading Activity packet includes a variety of activites for French teachers. Quick and simple K-2 reading fluency activities that are decodable and aligned with the Science of Reading. Fun and engaging French resource targeting those learning in the French Immersion, Core French, or modern language programs. Build a strong foundation in French language with educational resources specifically designed with your students in mind.

As I got into using these decodable reading passages in class, the students guided me to stretching out the resource even more to create a cute little packet for them to do a lot of the work on their own.

What's in the pack?

There are 4 original texts that explore complex sounds in French

Target sounds include AN/EN, ON, OU, OI

Text 1: Blanche

-le son AN et EN

-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).

Text 2: L'hérisson Tonton

-le son ON

-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).

Text 3: Lou le hibou

-le son OU

-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).

Text 4: Le poisson Éloi

-le son OI

-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).

How we use this in class:

My students now know that we read the passage first together as a group. We decode. We explore. We segment words. Blend them all so we are confident.

Next, we do activities with the sound blends themselves. Using a highlighter, students race to find all the target sound words in the text. I don’t know about you but my student LOVE highlighters! After that, students used the lined window to write all the target sound words so they’re sure they have them all. Then, we do a little exercise where we try to explain what happened in the story in as few words as possible.

The very last step is to draw a picture of what is happening in the text. Students can do most or all this activity pack on their own in the Grade One and Grade Two Immersion setting. It’s a great way to have them build confidence all while giving you the time to work with small groups at the back of your class!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

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

Texts 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.

Science of Reading:

These texts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven passages on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

✏️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.

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.
4. Walk around the room searching for the match to the picture located in the oval in the top right of another card.
5. When found, write the answer on the line in the first box.
6. Following the arrow on their paper to box 2, write the number of this card in the box on the top left.
7. Repeat until all boxes are full. Students should return to starting card when completed.
