Learn how to read in French with my
VIDEO COURSE
My French reading online video lessons are a perfect resource for homeschoolers, beginner readers, and struggling learners.
This course is a step-by-step method that is designed for young students to master the basics of reading in French. It is self-paced and full of activities to keep the student focused and engaged at all times.
I offer your child the opportunity to learn French reading online, at their pace, in a fun and engaging way. Your child will learn to decode and break up words in syllables, all while acquiring the French blended sounds through numerous activities.
The French Reading Essentials video course is broken up into two parts.
In the first part we will start with learning each vowel sound and how to put them with consonants to create new sounds. We will then be looking at how to break up words into syllables in order to decode.
In the second part we will dive into learning the blended sounds in French. The foundation for learning to read in French (especially for non-native speakers).
Each lesson will focus on a blended sound or group of sounds. We will start with the most common and simple blended sounds and then move into the more complex sounds. We will be consistently going back and reviewing, as the lessons build upon each other.
This online French course is designed and organized in a way for the children to become familiar with the activities and routines of the lessons. The lessons all build upon the other and are all taught in a consistent format for the child to follow on their own.

TESTIMONIALS
“I would highly recommend the Reading program of French Reading Essentials.
The videos were very engaging, I noticed the girls were able to follow the words and read after Mme Karine. It helped their understanding of the sounds faster and I am glad the girls looked forward to watching the videos. The activities also gave them something to work with, which is great for their learning.It really helped their reading and learning of all the French sounds that they were lacking in school. Thank you so much!!”

“So far, the video course has been so good for Angie’s learning! :) Angie has been working on the lessons for about three weeks now. She enjoys the videos a lot and follows along the materials pretty well. But sometimes she doesn't get things right away so it is great that she can watch again and again. There are lots of things I really like about your course. I like the way you teach by going through the sounds combined with each alphabet and repeat the sounds that were taught in previous lessons. Highlights and drawing makes the class more interesting. The dictee is effective in making her apply the sounds she learnt. Her phonics is weak and I feel she is benefiting a lot from your classes. She is gradually getting better everyday. :) Your pronunciation is very clear so it makes it easier to understand.
Initially, I had to watch the videos with her. Now, she brings up the video and goes through it herself. I can tell she likes it a lot because she is very engaged. Thank you so much!
I really recommend this for parents that cannot help their child to learn to read in French.
It helps me and my daughter so much!!”

"My daughter was new to French and I was seeing she had problems with learning the French vowel sounds and pronunciation. Madame Karine’s Video course helped us a lot with this. My daughter was very happy to do the course because it was easy to follow and she could do all the activities on her own. It became something she wanted to do and would ask me about it. This made me so happy that she was taking responsibility for her learning.
She has grown in her reading confidence and speaking in French.
I highly recommend this program!!!"
