Synopsis

21 Fun Songs to Teach French Phonics contains specially written songs, guaranteed to embed both French phonics and key vocabulary and phrases into your French lessons. The free downloads include videos, a multimedia PowerPoint and other resources to make learning French phonics fun.

Each song is based on a different French phoneme, allowing you to provide a specific phonic focus for your lesson. The multisensory approach, linking each phoneme to a gesture, image and the relevant graphemes, makes it easy for children to develop good pronunciation.

The specially written, age-appropriate lyrics are ideal for reinforcing frequently used vocabulary and phrases. Written with the primary MFL curriculum in mind, the songs can be easily integrated into popular topics and units of work. They can be used throughout Key Stages 1 and 2, and many would be appropriate for revision in Key Stage 3.

The videos will get your pupils up on their feet, singing and dancing to the tunes. Watch the videos without the lyrics to focus on developing listening skills or with the lyrics so pupils can practise reading French.

The PowerPoint introduces and reinforces French phonics and is ideal for non-specialist teachers. Use the video and audio files to introduce each phoneme. The sentences and frequently used words are ideal for consolidating learning.

The book contains a wealth of resources making it easy to integrate the songs into the curriculum, including the song lyrics, English translations for side-by-side comparison and differentiated worksheets. The free downloadable flashcards, wall chart and classroom frieze to make it easy to reinforce phonic sounds on a regular basis.

We are confident that you and your pupils will enjoy singing and moving along to these catchy French songs. Their French oral, writing, listening and reading skills will grow, as will their confidence and motivation to communicate in French.

Catherine Cantin obtained her First-Class Honours degree in English and French from the University of Warwick in 2003. She then moved to Paris where she worked for five years, before carrying out her PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages at the University of Exeter. After obtaining her PGCE, she worked for five years as a secondary teacher of French and Spanish, before taking a break to have children. After her second child was born, she set up her own business teaching French to babies, toddlers and their parents and grandparents. Teaching French through singing and dancing was a fantastic and transformative experience, and this led to Catherine's current role teaching French to nursery and primary school children, aged 2 - 11 years old. Making the most of children's natural enjoyment and enthusiasm for singing and dancing, Catherine has been able to hone her craft and create songs, poems and raps that capture the children's imagination and embed French vocabulary, phonics and grammar into their long term memories. Through the songs, gestures, videos and worksheets provided in this publication, Catherine hopes to pass on the flame of her passion and life-long love of learning languages.
