French Writing Unit 3 - A Program for Beginner FSL Writers

Read Write & Spell in French Unit 3

A Complete program to take kids from writing vocabulary words to full sentences!
French Writing Curriculum Unit 3 Flatlay

 Unit 1 and Unit 2 of this program have already been released! You can read about them and try out a free sample here!

Unit 3 is here - that's weeks 5 and 6! During these weeks, students will discover the proper use of 'tu' and 'vous' (in French these can both mean 'you', but there's an important distinction between them), learn some new sight words and already start to learn their very first verb - ĂȘtre.

Take a look below to see what is included, and how they'll build on what they have already learned.


What Will My Kids Learn?

In this unit, the focus will be on these important things:
  • Use of 'tu' and 'vous'
  • First part of the verb ĂȘtre
  • More sight words
  • Writing more than one sentence about a specific topic/prompt
  • Review of previously learned concepts including masculine/feminine nouns, sentence order, and writing phrases
*Remember that these units are meant to be done over 2 weeks, but you can always make them last longer or take less time using them

French vocabulary and grammar posters and worksheets

What is included? Everything you'll need!

In every 2-week unit, you'll find everything you need to teach the concepts. These include:
  • Posters and student-sized posters showing the rule of the unit
  • A suggested pacing plan
  • A scripted lesson plan explaining the rule and concepts
  • Student booklets showing the dictation phrases with illustrations
  • 2 weeks of worksheets in which students will practice the concepts taught and daily writing
  • Weekly quizzes
  • A student dictionary
  • Answer keys

What if I don't know how to pronounce a word?

If you aren't sure how to pronounce a word in French, I highly recommend using a tool like https://forvo.com/languages/fr/. It is free and gives a few options showing the pronunciation of different words. 

If you and your child need to practice pronunciation more, you might choose to take longer on each of these units and spend some time just practicing that using the online tools.
