What’s Included:

• Decoding & Encoding Activities: 2-4 unique game boards for each sound (1-2 for decoding, 1-2 for encoding) – 36 game boards total.
• Reusable Game Boards: Print and laminate each board to reuse year to year as part of your French literacy centres.
• Simple Setup: All students need is a laminated game board, a dry erase marker, a die, and something to erase with.

How It Works:

• Option 1: Decoding Practice: Students roll a die, identify the object beside the number rolled, then locate and trace the correct word in the table below. This activity reinforces decoding by linking objects with their written names.
• Option 2: Encoding Practice: In this option, students roll a die, name the object, and use their knowledge of vowels and letter sounds to spell the object’s name in the table. This hands-on approach supports encoding skills by building letter-sound connections.

Ideal for literacy centres or independent practice, this French Science of Reading activity provides essential complex sound practice, helping students build a strong foundation in decoding and encoding French words.
