Year of learning 2 French Resources

7 units for Year of learning 2, typically ages 6 to 7. A Fresh Start recaps Year of learning 1, so classes new to French can join here.

Year of learning 2 is for pupils typically ages 6 to 7, and any year group can start. A Fresh Start recaps Year of learning 1, so classes new to French can join here. Each unit is six ready-to-teach lessons built around one “Can I…?” question, with a growing sentence builder, a picture story, games, phonics, a song or chant and Talk time at support, core and challenge level.

Every unit is a PowerPoint viewed on the site. Word, PDF and audio files can be downloaded and kept. Members can also download PowerPoints to edit and keep — three a month on a yearly plan, one a month on a monthly plan. New resources are added regularly.
