Enseignons les autres sons ensemble TeachAlong™

Enseignons les autres sons ensemble is an affordable 12-week course, created for French primary teachers, focused on teaching decoding and blending two or more sounds as students read.

Many teachers have told me that they struggle with finding quality texts their students can learn to decode but that aren’t too difficult and don’t contain too many letters that don’t make their “regular” sound.

Teachers are also looking for effective, efficient ways to help their students learn and recognize important sons composés (meaning, sounds composed of 2+ letters) as they read.

This used to be a big problem for me, too. My students would learn how to decode but then get frustrated with words that didn’t follow the “rules,” or where not every letter made its sound.

But, I found a solution to that problem – one that allows me to teach decoding and les sons composés to all my students (whole-group and small-group, in-person and virtually) in context and in a way that makes sense for them. And, once again, I’m sharing exactly how I use this concept to take my students from confused to comprehending.

I’ll provide the resources, the answers to your questions, video trainings, and checklists and challenge sheets to keep you on track and help you become the best teacher you can be – without the overwhelm and burnout that normally goes along with it.

NOTE: You are purchasing this TeachAlong™ to go through self-paced, on your own. Buying the TeachAlong™ here will not guarantee that you’re purchasing the TeachAlong™ during a live run.

Q: What does it mean that the TeachAlong™ is “self-paced”?

A: When I say “self-paced,” I mean that you will go through this course independently. I do run this course live every year, at the end of the year, but in order to access the live run, you need to be a member of my Enseignons ensemble membership at that time. If you’re purchasing the course here, then you can work through the videos, workbooks, and weekly overviews at your own pace!

Q: What if I already own a lot of your resources? Will it still be worth it?

A: In a word, YES! My goal is to make sure that it will be worth it for anyone who wants to join. I aim to price my TeachAlongs™ so that they’re less than the value of the included resources, in case teachers already own some of the resources! The TeachAlong™ also contains TONS of videos that explain exactly how I use the resources and exactly how I would teach in my own classroom, and they are full of tips for your classroom and students.

Q: What about math/writing/other subjects?

A: This TeachAlong™ is very focused on sons composés! I chose to focus this course very specifically on using sons composés to teach blending in French, since this is such an essential part of reading comprehension for language learners. Throughout this TeachAlong™, we will not be discussing any other subjects.

Q: What is your refund policy?

A: Due to the digital nature of the course and the materials inside it, I do not grant refunds.

“Les cours de Mme Andrea sont formidables! Tout est super bien organisé. Durant les cours de Mme Andrea, nous recevons tout le matériel nécessaire et même des petits extras! Mme Andrea ainsi que les membres de son équipe et-ou les participant(e)s au cours peuvent facilement partager (questions et commentaires) via un groupe facebook. J’adore les cours de Mme Andrea. Mes élèves aiment beaucoup les activités proposés par Mme Andrea.” – Caro B.

“J’ai adoré travailler avec les documents en salle de classe. La facilité de transférer les documents et de les utiliser, sont fantastiques. J’ai regardé les vidéo et tutoriels pour bien partir l’enseignement.” – Sabrina B.

“J’adore les ‘TeachAlong™‘ avec Mme Andrea. J’apprends tellement dans ses vidéos. Ses ressources sont superbes. ll n’y a pas beaucoup de planifications à faire. Le tout est prêt et très engageant pour les élèves. Mes élèves adorent les diverses activités qu’elle prépare. Elle est toujours disponible à répondre à nos questions rapidement. Je viens de terminer mon 5e ‘TeachAlong™‘ avec elle et je suis convaincue que ce ne sera pas le dernier.” – Kim S.

“I really enjoyed the format of the TeachAlong™. Having the information ‘dropped’ to us in little chunks week by week made it much less overwhelming. I didn’t feel like I had to print and prep a ton of materials all at once. Rather, I always felt very accomplished and ready for the week, because I was able to digest the information, lessons, materials, and videos in smaller parts and then get ‘that’ part ready, not having to worry about ‘all the rest.’ Merci for a great course!” – Joanna A.

“I love the TeachAlong™ format! Only having one week at a time meant I didn’t get overwhelmed or feel like I was behind. The length of the videos were perfect. They gave enough information but were short enough that I could watch them both while having my morning tea. Having the text summaries really helped me organize my teaching plans and allowed me to look back at anytime and from anywhere.” – Julie M.
