Looking for some French decodable readers to help your French primary students learn their son composés and practice their reading skills with fun, engaging phonics-based stories and activities? This resource includes multiple activities for blending and decoding TEN different French sounds, providing an effective way for your students to practice their blending and decoding skills!

*If you already own my original sounds blending books bundle, please note that this bundle includes many of the same sounds, but the stories are NEW and “easier reads”. In this bundle, the sounds found in each story also build upon the previous stories, if you read them in the order I suggest.

Your students will love learning to read these ten French stories — and they will be extra proud learning to be able to read them on their own!

You can use this resource whole-group, small group, one on one, during literacy centres, for home reading, for distance/virtual teaching, and more! I personally project the digital version and teach it to my students whole-group, and then give each student their own copy to colour, highlight the target sound, and put in their reading bag to practice at home.

Each resource/story includes the following components:

• Fluidité warm-ups (sounds + sight words found in the story)
• Decoding warm-ups (practice cards where students will blend the target sound with other letters to make words)
• Printable story books, both full-page and half-page (in black & white) – all stories in this collection are “easy readers” (as few words per page as possible while allowing the story to advance) and each book builds upon the last if you follow my suggested order!
• Digital version of the story in Google Slides™ (in colour)
• Blending and sentence-building cards (in colour AND black & white)

In this story, all silent letters (lettres muettes) are written in grey so students know not to make their sounds. The target sound is written in red (digital version) and/or underlined (printable version).

Note: These books are most effective if used with students who already know how to decode words with simple sounds (consonants + vowels). There are new words inside of each book for students to decode! I find these books “best fit” whole group for première and deuxième année, and/or with small groups of students who are more advanced in maternelle.

This is the order I suggest teaching the books. Aside from a few sight words (indicated on the warm up slide), each book will ONLY contain the target “son composé” plus any learned in previous books:

• le son “on”
• le son “ou”
• le son “au/eau”
• le son “an/en”
• le son “ch”
• le son “in/ain”
• le son “eu/oeu”
• le son “oi”
• le son “ai/ei”
• le son “er/ez/ed”

(You can click on any sound to see where they can be purchased on their own.)
