Looking for an engaging way to help your French primary students master decoding skills? This resource is perfect for French reading instruction, providing French decodable readers that align with the French Science of Reading. With five fun and simple stories, students will practice decoding and blending sounds in context while building confidence as independent readers!

This resource focuses on five key French vowel sounds: open o, closed o, unstressed e, closed syllable e, and é. Each activity reinforces blending and decoding, helping students apply their phonics knowledge to decode new words effectively.

What’s Included:

• 5 Decodable Stories: Perfect for independent reading, classroom libraries, or at-home practice. (⭐️NOTE: 4 stories are included today; the é story will be added December 2024)
• Blending Cards and Slides: Ideal for practicing decoding words in isolation.
• Whole-Group and Individual Options: Project the digital materials for whole group lessons or print the black & white student books for one-on-one or partner reading.

Each French vowels book includes the following resources in both digital and printable format:

• Fluidité warm-ups (letter sounds + sight words found in the story)
• Decoding warm-ups (practice cards where students will blend the target vowel sound with other letters to make words)
• Printable story books, both full-page and half-page (in black & white)
• Digital version of the story in Google Slides™ (in colour)
• Blending and sentence-building cards (in colour AND black & white)

Why Teachers Love It:

• Aligned with the French Science of Reading principles.
• Perfect for French immersion and francophone students in primary grades.
• Engaging characters and simple stories that students love to read on their own.
• Flexible use in whole-group lessons, independent centres, or take-home practice.
