Last question: French curriculum

[Closeacademy]

My youngest would like to learn French, she is just starting to read. She does very well with Rod and Staff or literature based curriculum. What would you recommend?

Thanks.:001_smile:

I just purchased Easy French Jr.

It says Grades K-3. It just arrived a couple of days ago, so I haven't had a chance to read through the whole thing, but I really like the look of it. I'm going to use it for a 3rd grader that needs to ease into things like foreign languages -- otherwise she becomes easily overwhelmed. I haven't decided whether to begin right away or wait until after Christmas.

Here is the sample link.

Another one to look at is Nallenart (http://www.nallenart.on.ca/). It's Canadian and my daughter's enjoying it. It's got a nice mix of reading, listening, flashcards, worksheets, etc.

I second Nallenart. For purposes of not producing a laughable accent, my dh is the instructor for French (he's the native speaker in the family).

I lost this thread and thought that no one had replied. Thanks a lot for your posts and the link to the other thread. :001_smile:

Does she enjoy lapbooks? That can be a large part of Easy French Jr. If your daughter likes them that might be a good way to go.

She loves lapbooks. My older dd is doing Lively Latin and we are making a reference lapbook for that. Great idea. Thanks.:001_smile:

I like Memoria Press' Latin program, and they have a new French program...
