I hope you and your child are enjoying practicing for the oral speaking presentations. So far I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and effort all of the students are showing towards this challenge!
Yesterday, I had the students send home their phonétique duotangs so that you could see what sounds I have explicitely taught so far this year. They are:
é (like ay in day),
è ê (like e in wet),
en an em am (like an in want),
g doux (French soft g, found in words borrowed from French like garage or mirage) - used with e, i, and y (ge and gi, and gy)
g dur (hard g, like in go) - used everywhere else (gr, gl, ga, go, gu)
Speaking of the hard and soft g sounds, we tried this activity today where you can try to read the g words and drag and drop them in the correct category. We didn't have time to do all of the words so I told the class that I would post it on the blog so that they could try it at home. You can find two versions of the activity by clicking here. Next up, we will learn about the hard and soft c's, which (spoiler alert!) follow the same rules as the hard and soft g.
I hope this update helps you to support your child with his or her reading at home.
As always if you have any questions, please let me know .
