The next unit in my Read, Write and Spell French curriculum is finally here!
It has been a bit of a crazy time here for us, having to have our home fixed up after our basement being flooded during hurricane Debby (my namesake hurricane, of all things!), so I am just now catching up on my curriculum creation schedule :) But we are all doing great, renovations are underway and we're finally getting back into our grooves of regular (ish) life.
So I am so happy to announce that the next unit of this amazing curriculum series is here! I am so happy to hear from so many of you who have been successfully using it and seeing your learners thrive. In this new unit, they'll continue to learn about verbs in the present tense, write sentences and paragraphs, and learn more vocabulary.
If you've been following my French Writing Curriculum with your learners then you'll have already seen how much more they're writing now. Well, I've got some news - they're going to begin really expanding their writing over the next few weeks because we're learning verb conjugations!
Verbs will be a serious game changer in your learner's French vocabulary. Over the next few weeks they'll learn to conjugate verbs in the past, present, and future and learn rules for regular, irregular and spell-changing verbs!
This unit is part of my French Read Write and Spell Curriculum
If you have ever had to learn French then you know how important learning all the verb tenses and conjugations is! With this freebie, you'll be able to teach how to conjugate regular 'er' verbs in the present tense (along with exceptions!)
It's here! The next unit in my French Read, Write & Spell Curriculum! I know many of you have been waiting for it, so here it is - and the next unit isn't far behind!
This next unit focuses on teaching another irregular verb and teaches learners how to replace personal pronouns (like tu, il, nous, etc) with proper nouns (like names). It's an important step to learn before jumping into regular verb conjugations (which we'll begin in unit 8).
As I mentioned, in this unit students will learn to take a personal pronoun like "ils" and replace it with names like "Ben et Lilli". This helps your learners understand that
"Ben et Lilly vont au parc"
is the same verb conjugation as
"Ils vont au parc"
I've included practice cards to help cement this concept and it is also practiced throughout the 2-week unit with worksheets and dictations.
Like all my French read, Write & Spell Units, this one comes with plenty of practice! You'll get a word reference sheet for yourself and your learners to reference as well as flashcards to practice them or to hang them on a word wall.
You'll also receive 2 weeks of worksheets and 2 quizzes to help your learners practice the concepts they learn in this unit and spiral in what they have learned in past units. By now your learners are writing some great descriptive paragraphs! In this unit, they'll continue that by describing a photo of clothing.
This unit includes a new vocabulary reference book too! It lists clothing words that your students will use in their activities and with the verb 'mettre'.

Learning to read new words in a new language can be tricky, especially when your learner doesn't know many sight words to begin with. That's the magic in these French pyramid readers - they are a great way to practice reading as well as comprehension and vocabulary!
Have you been using my Free sight word unit? If so then your learner will recognize many of these words and learn some new ones too!
If you've been using my French Read Write & Spell curriculum then your learner will know most of these words already!
This free French unit contains 20 pyramid sentence readers. Learners will start by reading the first word at the top of the pyramid, then add words as they go down. This a great way to practice reading in French and learn some new words as well.
I have used these with my own kids over the years and they pick up so many new words by just reading them out loud every day.
I've also included a way to practice some writing and comprehension! You'll find every reader comes with a copywork sheet in which your students can illustrate and copy the sentence, as well as a dictation sheet so that you can have them write the sentence down as you read it aloud.
Download the Free French Pyramid Readers here!
This level is perfect for learners just beginning to read in French, or even kids with no French background.
Enjoy learning and stay tuned for more French units coming up!

Have you been following my French writing program? Then you'll be happy to know that weeks 11 and 12 are here! 😁😁😁
In this unit, students will learn about using the verb 'voir' in the present tense, learn new sight words, and expand their vocabulary even more with a brand new feature!
As with all of the previous units, these 2 weeks will be full of practice, practice, practice! Students will do a daily dictation, a daily worksheet with writing and verb conjugation practice, and have a weekly quiz too!
I have included everything you need including an answer guide, translations, and lessons that you can read aloud like a script.
You'll also notice a brand new addition to this unit - a vocabulary booklet! This 20-page booklet features vocabulary words that are all about places to go and see - in nature, in the countryside, city, and more! Your learners will be able to use this book to write even more!
Future units will contain similar vocabulary guides. They're not only a great way to expand vocabulary, but a fun way to teach your learners how to use a reference guide in the future. They're easy to print since they are in black and white, but could also be used on a tablet if you're trying to save on paper. They can even be hung on the wall so that you can practice vocabulary every day!

Learning to write in French is crucial for FSL (French as a Second Language) students. Proficiency in writing allows students to effectively communicate their thoughts and ideas in French, enhancing their overall language skills. Writing in French also provides students with the opportunity to practice grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure, leading to a deeper understanding of the language.
Through French writing, my own kids have been able to extend their vocabulary and understanding of things like verb tenses in French and grammar. That is why I began making these units for them so that they can easily continue to practice their writing without my constant help. After they write their rough draft we go over it together, correcting any grammar or spelling mistakes and reviewing those grammar rules as we go on throughout the year.

Writing is an important part of language development, especially for second-language learners. Multiple studies have shown that the more something is written down by hand, the easier it is to commit to memory. That's why I consider writing in French such an important part of our school day.
As my kids have grown from writing simple sentences into writing paragraphs and papers, I have found that they still need vocabulary refreshers and reminders to help them along. That's why I started making these French writing units for more intermediate-level FSL learners.

Planning is such an important part of writing, It allows us to get our ideas down without being bogged down by grammar rules, sentence structure and spelling. I included a drawing page in this unit so that students can plan out the words and phrases they'll use through drawing and labelling before writing anything. This could be used at the beginning of the week while you review important vocabulary.
You might want to give students an idea of how much they should write by saying they need, for example, at least 3 things they like to do after school. You could also require them to expand on why they like those things if their writing is up to that level.
As I mentioned earlier, FSL students often need quick refreshers of vocabulary and phrases, even in the intermediate writing stage. Reviewing the words and phrases included in the units will not only help students review vocabulary words and verb tenses but also give them ideas and inspiration for their paper.
If they have French writing notebooks, these could be pasted in there, allowing them to add to the vocabulary list by using their French dictionaries or translation apps.
