Sometimes I feel like my iPad has made me very passive--lots of reading but little interacting, since typing is awkward or I'm reading while holding a toddler.<br /><br />As far as materials for teaching to read--I'm not sure.

Using a strict OPOL approach made it very clear that Maman's alphabet was in French and Daddy's alphabet was the English one. Since we all sang the letters to the same tune, that showed him that they were both alphabets, just with different pronunciations.<br /><br />(Yes, his dad and other relatives Sarah @ Baby Bilingualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907207816628137938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-91912567835156143502013-06-05T01:23:16.787-06:002013-06-05T01:23:16.787-06:00Hi Sarah,

First off the card idea is so brilliant. I can't wait to create some of these to play with my girls in France this summer.<br /><br />Also I was hoping you might have some recommendations on books or materials on how to teach kids to read in French.<br /><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-67767264341941727052013-06-02T18:40:19.849-06:002013-06-02T18:40:19.849-06:00Hi Sarah,

I have used pictures of animals but your version has a great early literacy aspect to it! Would you mind sharing your word list? (I see that you used bleu, gris, bebe, et velo, but what other words did you use? <br />Thanks!<br />RosemarieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068774184844408075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-32818908531224094342013-05-28T15:55:06.586-06:002013-05-28T15:55:06.586-06:00This is a great idea.

Did you do it contemporaneously with the English one (which I assume he learnt from his daddy or from school?).<br /><br />I am really torn as to how to proceed with Poppette which means right now I'm probably making a real hash of it by trying to teach her the English alphabet (through phonics) whilst Bonne Mamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152733305572849246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-28423951618764026982013-05-25T13:34:30.772-06:002013-05-25T13:34:30.772-06:00I love the egg carton idea!

We just used whatever flashcards/playing cards (Uno!) I had on hand, usually colors, numbers, or groups of words like animals. And then practiced "Do you have?". I am going to keep your version in mind to use sometime.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.com
