Languages can open the door to great travel and job opportunities, so it's beneficial to encourage your child to learn French.  For children aged 7-11, try introducing about 6-8 words when you start a new topic.  However, if your child finds that amount of words hard to recall, then focus their learning on less new words.  Learning is a process, so praise your child for their effort even if mistakes are made.  And remember to keep revisiting what your child has learnt so they don't forget the French they learn.

Using a variety of materials will make learning French fun and more memorable.  In our French range we have:

• Activity books with fun activity sheets, word searches and colouring pages
• Story books with a translation, vocabulary list and a song / rap to sing 
• Word searches in fun shapes with pictures that accompany the list of words to find
• Colouring books with French vocabulary for the things to colour 
• Books containing games to help you learn French such as snakes and ladders, pairs card game, 3 in a row... 

With 6 great topics in each book, Cool Kids Speak French is a range of activity books which is ideal for children aged 7 to 11 learning French.  Each topic starts with a picture page showing all the words for that topic.  These words are then practised and sentences are built.  Each topic ends with a fun word search.  

These books are available on Amazon and bookstores worldwide.    You can search for a book on your favourite website by searching for either the book title or the ISBN.

This book is ideal for children aged 9 – 12 years who are learning French.  It may also interest older children, especially as it’s both useful and impressive to know all the numbers from 1 to 100 in French.

The first six sections of the book practise 10 – 20 new numbers at a time as well as recap on some of the numbers already introduced. Each section begins with a page practising some new numbers. This is followed by fun mathematical activities to help embed the numbers in the child’s learning. The seventh section of this book recaps on the numbers 10 to 100 and then there is a section on fractions using colours and pizzas.

On each of the activity sheets there is support in French for the numbers needed for completing that particular activity sheet. And at the back of the book, there is a lovely reference page for the numbers 1 to 100 in French and a fun game. The activity sheets can be photocopied for use by the purchasing institution or individual in their classes or at home. This book is a great cross curricular French and maths resource for teachers as each section could make a booklet for that number range. The activity pages would also make great extension activities for pupils who finish their class work first.
