Do your primary students struggle with seeing French "sons composés" as a whole, and instead try to decode each letter as they read? Do they need practice identifying and reading a variety of sons composés? If yes, then this resource is sure to help! Let's stop encouraging our students to memorize and guess, and instead teach them to REALLY read new words. The concept of this activity is simple, but I have seen it really make a difference with my students. SAVE OVER 20% BY GETTING THIS RESOURCE AS PART OF A BUNDLE! This resource contains sound strips for 22 different French « sons composés ». Each strip targets its own “son composé”. Students will find the sound within each word, and then use the sound to help them read the words. There are two versions of each strip. In the first version, the target sound is coloured, and « les lettres muettes » are grey. Regular letters that "talk" are black. This format will help your students who are just getting used to French sounds remember to reach each son composé as one sound, and to not pronounce the silent letters. In the second version, ALL of the letters are black. These strips contain all of the same words and order of words as the coloured strips, but they are trickier as students will have to recognize the sons composés and the silent letters on their own. You can choose which version is best for your students, depending on their needs and abilities! I use these sound strips during guided reading, and will often send some strips home in my students' reading bags for extra practice when I teach a new sound. I love being able to differentiate depending on my students’ individual needs! Each of the words for practicing the simplest sounds that you teach first contain ONLY that son composé - no others! This means that you can teach the sounds to your students in any order that you like, and they will still be able to decode every word on the page (no prior son composés knowledge required). *There are a couple of words for some of the more complex sounds (ph, oin, ain, eille, ien, eau, gn) that contain more than one sound, but very few! On the coloured cards, I underline those sounds, to remind students to think of those letters as one sound. Included sounds: on ou oi ch in ai eu ei ui an en et qu gn eau ien ain eil eille oeu oin ph Check out the preview above for a closer look at the included sound strips. Each strip also includes a picture clue of an anchor word for each of the target sounds. Easy prep - just print, laminate, and cut!

This is an amazing art and math lesson that I got from a teacher at a conference who did teach a district over from me, but is now getting her PhD. She always had amazing stuff to present at conference. (You're amazing, Mary Franco!) Anyway, this lesson involves Paul Klee and multiplication. I made a little three page Smart Notebook lesson about Klee's work "Once Emerged From the Gray of Night" (where I used to show a poster of it) and have the students talk about what's more important--the words of the poem or the colors and composition? Then we talk about putting two things (like writing and art, or math and art together). It's SUCH an amazing lesson, here's a sneak peek: So, students get a little background knowledge of Klee, then we talk about tessellations and multiplication (and practice on the Smart Board). Then, students get a page of one-inch graph paper and write out a one digit by one digit multiplication problem with a two digit answer. I tell them to choose one that's hard for them to remember, or their favorite one. They then repeat that problem seven times, dropping down and over one square for 4 times, then down and back a square for three times, making them into interlocking tessellation shapes: After they've drawn it all out in pencil and I've checked it, they choose ONE color of fine-tip marker to trace it with, then use colored pencil or watercolor pencil to color. The coloring is a bit of a challenge for them, because they need to forget that they're numbers and only look at the space. They then color it in patterns/designs to make it visually interesting and play with people's minds ('math? I dont' see any math!') It's an awesome lesson that really challenges their thinking. This one really shows the patterns and designs. Oh, it's also important that their numbers COMPLETELY fill the one inch box of the graph paper. I always try to do this lesson at a time of the year when classroom teachers are complaining about students not remembering their math facts. I usually do it with fifth grade, but I did it with sixth one year at the teachers' request.
