Year of learning 3 French Resources

8 units for Year of learning 3, typically ages 7 to 8. Units 1 and 2 start from zero, so classes new to French can begin here.

Year of learning 3 is for pupils typically ages 7 to 8, and any year group can start. Units 1 and 2 start from zero, so classes new to French can begin 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.

What format are the resources in?

Units are PowerPoint files, viewed on the site in the browser. 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. Buying a unit outright includes its PowerPoint to keep.

Are they suitable for my exam board?

How many lessons does each pack cover?

Each KS3 and GCSE topic pack covers 7–9 lessons, and each KS2 unit six 30-minute lessons. Some larger topics include additional extension or revision materials on top of that.
