Learner progress will be assessed by the teacher daily during each lesson as they observe that students are becoming comfortable, independent and fluent in their reading. Comprehension will be monitored regularly through questions and answers as well as activities on the slides that require students to demonstrate understanding. Writing will improve as students keep a regular journal that will show their progression over time. Parents can also assess their own child's progress as they become more independent during their participation in class, their own independent reading, as well as how they are using learned information and reading techniques outside of class.Class Experience

▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ This course focuses on developing French language proficiency at the "Effective Readers" level through the Reading A-Z program. Students will read a new story each week from Levels K-P and engage in various activities to improve their reading comprehension, writing, and vocabulary. Topics covered will include family, home, school, park, zoo, friends, pets, and more. Throughout the course, students will interact with their peers and the instructor through various activities such as discussions, writing exercises, and completing activities on slides. The instructor will use engaging teaching methods to make the learning experience enjoyable and relevant to students' daily lives. Overall, this course is designed to help students develop their French language skills, improve their reading comprehension and writing, and make connections between what they read and their daily lives.

Send us a message to learn more! ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚Literature Read📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ During the first four weeks of this class, we will read the following stories: ⭐Week of Jan. 22nd: "I'd Like to Be" - Arturo Banal ⭐Week of Jan. 29th: "Friends Around the World" - Bea Silverburg ⭐Week of Feb. 5th: "I Love City Parks" - Katherine P. Burdick ⭐Week of Feb. 12th: "Brainstorm Bear" - Torran Anderson ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 👨🎓Target Student👨🎓 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Students should have a basic understanding of reading sentences in French. The course will be taught in French . The Reading A-Z program expects effective readers to recognize more and more words automatically by sight, attend to phonics, word chunks, and affixes when decoding unfamiliar words, and transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Effective readers also tend to focus less on decoding and more on comprehension. The text to support effective readers may include longer sentences, more complex syntax, richer vocabulary, fewer pictures, and more formal and descriptive language.

Doris Sandra Avoum:
Bonjour!
I’m Doris and teaching languages is my passion and my full time job. I’m from Cameroun and I live in USA. I love speaking French. I have studied French for about 18 years and I have been teaching it for 3 years. I have a Master degree in Medical Anthropology from the University of Yaoundé 1.
In my experience as a teacher, I’ve met people with multiple learning goals, so I can say I’m a flexible patient teacher and I’m able to adapt a lesson to different ways of learning and needs. I love interacting with students and being part of their learning process.
During my lessons, I prefer to use a communicative approach whether to study vocabulary, pronunciation or active grammar. That is, in other words, I focus on the use of the language and try to create a 100% French speaking environment progressively.
Regarding grammar teaching, I use both an inductive and deductive approach. For instance, you can discover the rules through different activities that require your engagement and interaction or I can explain to you any aspect of grammar by giving you the rules and practicing with examples and exercises. Sometimes we can do one of these ways or both in the same lesson, taking into account your learning style.
