Guest Eeere Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Can anyone recommend or give feedback on french programs for a six year old (would be going into Gr. 1)? I have some French but very little confidence speaking and even less teaching! Thanks very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The Easy French Jr. is sweet for this age. It's has enjoyable activities and all the conversational stuff is recorded on cd, meaning you don't need to be able to speak it to teach it.

I have looked it over some and I noticed the scripture memorization. Is there anything else I missed? Would it be easy to drop the non-secular parts?

Jill in Maine Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I used The Learnables when my older two were in 1st and 3rd. My dd enjoyed it more than my son, but they both seemed to retain it fairly well. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be easy to drop the non-secular parts? There is no Scripture memorization as far as I can tell in the Junior level, though I believe there is in the next levels. I flipped through my book just now and didn't see anything religious (but this is the Junior level - I couldn't tell you about the other levels).

mooooom Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 L'Art de Dire - and then once she can read well, L'Art de Lire. It moves very slowly and is engaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I definitely recommend The Easy French Jr. It makes French easy to learn and gives them the tools to use French in their everyday lives. I only got partway through last year with my (then) 5 and 7 year olds, but they loved their French lessons and I loved seeing them carry over what they had learned to the rest of the day. TEF teaches from a Charlotte Mason philosophy and is very age appropriate and child friendly while still respecting the child's ability to learn. I can't wait to get back into it when we start back to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
