- This website has lists of French sounds with games and activities for each one. This would help your child learn the basics of French phonics and how to “sound out” words effectively!
www.vocapic.com
- This website has different lists of vocabulary words, organized by category. Your child can practice building their vocabulary through a series of test-like problems. I would suggest clicking on the ages 6-11 category, with English translations
www.podcastfrancaisfacile.com
- This website has French conversations organized by different topics. Students can listen to it at full speed or slow it down, to practice listening to various conversations in French. I would suggest clicking ‘Debutant’ for simpler conversations.

Duolingo (app for Apple or Android Devices, and can be accessed online as well, but a free account must be made)
- This app/site has numerous levels of translation activities. It is repetitive in nature so students have to remember what they have already learned in previous levels. I would suggest typing for your child, as the program does rely on good spelling, and some activities are timed.
Boukili (app for Apple or Android Devices)
- This app has simple audiobooks organized by ‘levels’. Though these levels do not match up with our levelled home-reading books, they are nice to gauge the difficulty of the text, as there are comprehension questions at the end.
