Grade 1 Method Presentation

This Grade 1 reading textbook is part of the “Arc-en-ciel” collection. The latter is based on the mixed reading method. Starting with the global method, letters and syllables are combined to build new words.

The “Arc-en-ciel” collection for Grade 1 is based on the following methodological principles:

• Oral comprehension and expression: the many exercises encourage children to express themselves orally.
• An abundance of illustrations: attractive and colorful images strengthen comprehension and encourage oral expression.
• Children’s active participation: interactive activities stimulate children’s interest and engagement.
• Regular assessments: these pages allow the tracking of children’s progress.

The “Arc-en-ciel” collection for Grade 1 is a comprehensive method to learn French. It comprises the following four components: a reading textbook, two exercise workbooks, and a writing copybook. This collection also comes with 10 storybooks. 

Grade 1 Reading Textbook

This “Arc-en-ciel” reading textbook includes 10 themes, divided into 20 lessons. It provides, in lessons 1 to 13, a comprehensive review of what has been learned in KG3. Each theme is divided into three parts:

1. First, several pages are dedicated to oral expression. They extend prior oral learning, in particular that which was acquired through the stories that serve as motivation and introduction to the theme.
2. Next are pages devoted to reading lessons with the objective of learning the French graphemes.
3. Finally, review pages test the learning objectives.

This textbook also includes song and rhyme lyrics, as well as socialization awareness materials.

Finally, a QR code is printed on the first page of the textbook. Children can thus listen to:

• The storybooks with sound effects.
• The songs and rhymes found in the book.
