French Beginner Reading and Writing Class (Adapted CNED course)

About this event

This adapted CNED literacy class is designed for fluent French-speaking children in 1st and 2nd grade who are beginner readers and writers, or who already have emerging literacy skills and would benefit from continued support. Taught by an experienced Alliance New York instructor and hosted at the Language and Laughter Studio in Brooklyn, the class provides structured weekly instruction to strengthen foundational skills and build confidence in French reading and writing. Each Saturday, children explore letters, sounds, and syllables; practice handwriting; and work on decoding and writing words and sentences appropriate to their level. Through playful activities, vocabulary expansion, early grammar practice, and short shared readings, students progress from recognizing sounds and forming simple words to composing clearer, more accurate sentences. Instruction is adapted within the group so that each child is met at their level, supported, and appropriately challenged. Families receive brief weekly updates and guidance to support learning at home. Our goal is to nurture children’s curiosity, reinforce their developing literacy skills, and help them continue their French reading and writing journey with confidence.
