French Pre-Writing and Reading Class (Adapted CNED course)

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.
