Grade 6 Expression Workbook – La Boîte aux Lettres
The Grade 6 Method Presentation
This Grade 6 expression workbook is part of the “La Boîte aux Lettres” collection.
“La Boîte aux Lettres” for Grade 6 is a comprehensive method for learning French. It is an extension of our methods from previous grades. The spirit, content, and pedagogical practices are thus reframed and extended. Our teaching methods emphasize oral expression. The latter is indeed the basis for learning to read and write.
The “La Boîte aux Lettres” collection for Grade 6 is based on the following methodological principles:
- Priority given to oral expression, with various sessions are devoted to it.
- Class projects to enable group work, interdisciplinarity, open-mindedness, and collaboration.
- Narrative reading texts and play extracts suited to children’s linguistic and psychological levels.
- Perfecting reading skills.
- Introduction to the internal organization of the texts.
- Presentation of injunctive-prescriptive, descriptive, and informative-explanatory texts.
- Perfecting writing skills through progressive lessons on the different types of writing.
- Insistence on vocabulary enrichment in every unit.
The “La Boîte aux Lettres” collection for this grade comprises the following three components: a reading textbook, an expression workbook, and a grammar workbook.
