Learn French with Luc et Sophie, Level 1

Transform French teaching in primary schools with Learn French with Luc et Sophie. Designed to inspire a love of the language, this comprehensive 4-level scheme ensures full coverage of the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum, starting with Level 1 as the perfect entry point for young learners.

The Level 1 book, along with its free downloadable resources, provides everything you need to start teaching French confidently and effectively in Year 3. There are 7 carefully crafted stories designed to introduce beginning learners to essential vocabulary and language structures. These can be shared with pupils using audio-enhanced PowerPoints on an interactive whiteboard or printed for individual reading.

Accompanying the stories are a wealth of lesson ideas for developing speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, engaging activities, specially written songs, and mini-scripts to make the most of every story.

Learn French with Luc et Sophie is ideal for non-specialist teachers. Grammar skills are introduced progressively throughout the scheme, with clear explanations provided to support teachers. With all language modelled in high-quality audio files, you won't need to worry about pronunciation.

Stories are an excellent way to teach French as they foster emotional engagement, making the learning process both enjoyable and memorable. Children will adore the humour and relatable moments in the stories, eagerly following Luc and Sophie's adventures. Like many siblings, Luc and Sophie sometimes bicker, adding to their charm and authenticity.

The stories link seamlessly to popular primary school topics, making it easy to integrate the scheme with other French resources. At Level 1, topics include common greetings, introducing oneself, saying one's age, family members, numbers up to 20, and colours.

This book and accompanying resources provide everything you need to get started. However, to enable your pupils to better enjoy reading the stories on their own or in groups, an anthology of the stories is available for purchase: Luc et Sophie French Stories for Primary School Pupils, Level 1.
