Developed with teachers and curriculum experts, French for Kids Set 1 is for early beginners ages 3-8. The unique Spot Color Immersion Method® weaves foundational vocabulary into fun first readers that build confidence. Children read each page independently (or with help from the online audio narration), until they proudly realize they’ve finished the 16-page little readers–in French. The 10 easy-to-read small books in Set 1 feature:

• 100 theme words and 50+ high-frequency words and expressions
• Online audio (adults don’t need to help with pronunciation)
• One line of text per page
• Themes: Family, Animals, Clothing, Colors, Face & Body, Fruit, Numbers, Shapes, Snacks, Toys
• Fun phrases and cultural lingo: Bon appétit / A ta santé! / Encore!
• Bilingual vocabulary and phrase charts
• English story translation at the back

A perfect first series for preschool to elementary children. Toddlers can listen and look. Illustrations by Nancy Meyers, recipient of the American Library Association’s 2018 Geisel Honor.

Why parents and teachers love Language Together®:
• CONFIDENCE-BUILDER FOR BEGINNERS. New languages can be intimidating, but kids quickly finish these 16-page French readers and proudly exclaim “I read this little story on my own–in a new language!”
• APPEALS TO DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES. Visual learners naturally understand the meaning of words when reinforced by color and pictures.
• ENGAGING READERS. Kids quickly lose interest in flash cards but are captivated by words in a story.
• CONTEXT. Second language books often present words in isolation. Kids learn with ease–like native speakers–when words are in meaningful context (“comprehensible input”).
• FLEXIBLE SUPPLEMENT. Used in schools and homes across the US. A free downloadable Teacher’s Guide is available. An indispensable series for learning to read and speak French.
