About this event

This introductory adapted CNED literacy class is designed for fluent French-speaking children who are ready to begin learning how to read and write in French. Taught by an experienced Alliance New York instructor and hosted at the Language and Laughter Studio in Brooklyn, the class offers structured weekly support to help children build strong early literacy foundations. Each Saturday, children explore new letters, sounds, and syllables; practice handwriting; and begin decoding simple words and short sentences. Through playful activities, vocabulary building, early grammar awareness, and small shared readings, students gradually develop confidence in recognizing sounds, forming words, and creating their first written 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 reinforce learning at home, encouraging steady and joyful progress. This course is ideal for K and 1st grade students, fluent French speakers who are just beginning their journey with reading and writing. Our goal is to nurture their curiosity, support their emerging skills, and help them take their first steps into French literacy with confidence.

LLS - Clinton Hill · Clinton Hill

This class is designed for children with little to no exposure to French. Grounded in the science of language acquisition and early childhood development, our methodology draws from repetition with variation, total physical response, emotional connection, and meaningful routines. Children are immersed in a structured environment that builds confidence and comprehension. We focus on high-frequency vocabulary, colors, numbers, greetings, classroom commands and use visual cues, gestures, and props to bring the language to life.

Sewing is a meditational act, a portal to creativity and self-expression. How wonderful would it be to make your own garments instead of buying them at the store? It has always been such a gift for Liza to be able to sew her own garments, choosing the fabric, the style, and the design. Liza's biggest inspiration is her mother who sewed dresses for her and her sister when they were young. We will explore questions such as: How are fabrics made? Where do they come from? What are natural and synthetic fabrics? What products from nature can be used to dye fabric? How can we reuse a piece of fabric to create a new garment? How do we measure our bodies to make sure that the clothing fits properly? This course will be taught in French.

French Beginner Reading and Writing Class (Adapted CNED course)

Sat, May 16 · 11:15 AM

LLS - Clinton Hill · Clinton Hill

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.
