French Phonics - Phoneme Flashcards

This resource was created to help students develop phonemic awareness in French.

This approach to teaching phonics is based on: 

• explicit and systematic teaching of foundational phonics skills. 

• supports a structured literacy program. 

• students learning phonemes in a particular order - any scope and sequence can be used; the one in this resource is suggestion only. 

• students identifying and remembering phonemes through simple jingles and gestures. 

• students blending phonemes together to read and write simple words.  

• students identifying phonemes that are spelled differently in French

• students identifying phonemes that are pronounced differently in French

• synchronous learning of letter formation (handwriting).

________________________________________________________________

There are 36 phonemes presented in this resource. These phonemes are organized into 6 different groupings. The order in which the sounds are taught is to facilitate learning. **This order is a suggestion only. ANY scope and sequence can be used, simply use the flashcards in any order you prefer.**

Sounds are grouped according to the following:

1. high to low frequency
2. continuous sounds
3. ability to create simple words
4. movement sequence to form the sounds

Grouping 1 (s, a, c/k, l, t, b, i, m, n, r, p)

Grouping 2 (e, f, u, d, o, g, j, v, y)

Grouping 3 (é, oi, ou, ch, qu, on, z, en/an, ô, eu)

Grouping 4 (in, un, â, x, h, ê/è)

Grouping 5 (different graphemes, same phoneme)

Grouping 6 (same grapheme, different phonemes)
