For the beginners, we begin with word-picture associations based on weekly themes. We encourage your children to say the words and point to the corresponding picture. They are then given simple sentences, asked to repeat them and confirm they understand their meaning.

Your children read passages from age appropriate books, stories and poems! Our educators help them understand the words, the meaning of the sentences and encourage them to explain the text in their own words. They are also asked to write simple sentences that, with time, will turn into paragraphs! Word “dictée” will re-enforce their learning.

Advanced students will read longer passages from a children’s book, a fable or a poem. They explain the story using their own words and write a few sentences or a short paragraph about the text. A short “dictée” is also added every now.
