J'ai... Qui a...? (I have... Who has...?)

This great French phonics game is a fantastic way to get your students talking. Students of every grade absolutely love this easy to use card game. The easy prep cards can be made in colour or black and white and can be used with words or without, depending on the level of French phonological awareness that they have acquired.

If they are only setting out in their French journey, try cards with no words and watch them get talking. With students that have been learning with the Science of Reading, decoding and blending are the next steps.

Once students have all the simple sounds (sons simples) in French, we start to introduce complex sounds (sons complexes). I usually teach OU first and then AN. This allows students to now be able to decode hundreds of words.

Activity Cards include:

-memory practice

-decoding practice

-blending sounds

-lowercase letter recognition

-identifying phonemes

-decoding simple and complex sounds

-word recognition

-identifying sound in an image

-matching sounds and words

-student interaction

-oral fluency and efficiency

-builds confidence in speaking French in class

Science of Reading:

These cards are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven phonics game cards on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

Vocabulary used:

-aimant, amande, ambulance, banc, cerf-volant, enfant, fantome, flamand, framboise, gant, gland, grand-maman, kangourou, orange, panda, pantalon, valentin, vampire, volcan

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple game cards to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Students build reading fluency depending on their level (words or no words)

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
