The Science of Reading for French Immersion
Sound Science & Sight Word Science are two complementary programs based on the Science of Reading. They are systematic and explicit, designed to help students learn how to read in French with confidence, accuracy, and fluency.
Created by an FI Teacher,
for FI Teachers
Most French resources for reading are made with Francophone students in mind. Have you ever experience the frustration of reading a Level 1 book with students containing words like "grimper" or "balançoire", even though they are still mastering basic letter sounds? Students, not having acquired the right vocabulary, will sound out each letter, and have no clue that they've gotten it wrong.
Unlike Other French Reading Programs
My goal as the creator of each program was to eliminate the expectation that students guess words that they do not yet know. Each program, step by step. introduces new sounds in sequence, allowing students to practice reading with words then can actually decode! This builds not only their skills in reading, but also their confidence as early readers.
​
Sound Science and Sight Word Science are unlike any other French Phonological Awareness Program that I have encountered, as each week builds on the next, only expecting students to read sounds that they have been explicitly taught and rarely including words containing any unfamiliar sounds.
If you are interested in learning more about each program and strategies for it's implementation in the program, click the link above to access a Free Teacher Guide for both the Sound Science & Sight Word Science Program. This guide was last updated in 2022. I am planning to overhaul and update my program in Summer 2024, including this guide.
