3rd edition Physical French Phonics: A Sound, Action and Spelling System for Teaching French Phonics - Softcover
Physical French Phonics is a European Language Label winning project (2012).
Physical French Phonics is a tried-and-tested multisensory approach to teaching French phonics. It has been developed in conjunction with primary school children and their teachers over the course of several years.
For each phoneme, students learn an action, as well as the graphemes associated with that sound. Cheerful colourful cartoon pictures link the actions to the sounds and help to facilitate learning.
The comprehensive teacher's guide provides a clear step-by-step approach to introducing pupils to French phonemes. It contains practical advice, activities and guidance, along with photocopiable games and reference sheets.
Through using Physical French Phonics your pupils will not only learn to pronounce correctly the French vocabulary introduced, they will also gain the skills to tackle any new vocabulary they encounter with confidence.
The CD-Rom contains everything you need:
- Video clips of French speakers saying each sound and performing the associated action
- Video clips of French speakers saying and acting out key words, carefully selected to introduce all the French phonemes
- Video clips of French speakers demonstrating how liaison works in practice
- Audio clips of all the phonemes and words introduced
- Attractive full-colour flashcards and resource sheets, giving you access to ready-made colourful resources for displays and games
- Interactive white-board files for all the phonemes so, once you understand the system, you can make your own phonic resources to accompany any topic.
The representation of sounds through letters in any language should be seen as a code. It is hoped that Physical French Phonics will provide the key needed to break this code for all French students.

Review:
Many thanks for the copy of Physical French Phonics. I like the look of it and I feel sure that it will go a long way to improving the standard of the teaching of French pronunciation : the fact that it does so in an amusing way is important! --Professor Glanville Price - Professor of French
Being able to pronounce written words including unfamiliar ones accurately and fluently in a foreign language can be argued to be a foundation skill which underpins various other aspects of language learning. French, which remains by far the most widely taught foreign language in English primary and secondary schools, has a spelling system which can appear baffling, but which is actually much more transparent and consistent than the English system (at least when decoding from print to sound). Therefore, as the authors say, pupils who master the French spelling system will be able to read aloud anything they choose and will be understood . However, recent research in English MFL classrooms has consistently found that, in the absence of explicit instruction, pupils have poor decoding proficiency in L2 French and make little progress in this area. Physical French Phonics is an attempt to remedy this situation by providing systematic phonics instruction for primary school pupils. A strength of the book s approach is that it begins by helping pupils acquire the sounds of the language (phonemes) before going on to link these to their written representations (graphemes). This is achieved through the use of a series of physical actions and corresponding pictures suggested by primary school pupils themselves which are linked to individual French phonemes. For example, the nasal vowel in the French words main and vingt is represented by a mime imitating an angry goose. This avoids the need for the kinds of anglicised spellings of French sounds which are so often seen in classrooms (such as ay for the second vowel in café ) but which run the risk of entrenching inaccurate pronunciations. The DVD accompanying the book includes recordings of native speakers producing the French phonemes, an excellent feature for those teachers who may feel unsure of their own pronunciation in the foreign language. For those who wish to use them, the actions / pictures are also linked to symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet, providing pupils with a key to unlock the pronunciations of words as found in standard French dictionaries. Physical French Phonics contains a wealth of engaging activities for helping pupils to practise the recognition and production of both phonemes and graphemes, and the links between these. The authors draw here on many years experience of teaching French in primary schools: as the book s subtitle says, their approach is tried and tested . Having seen it in action with several different year groups, it was clear that pupils enjoyed the physical actions and that these helped them to decode French words. I was extremely impressed to find that Year 6 pupils who had followed the Physical French Phonics scheme for a number of years were able to read aloud unfamiliar words such as la couronne and la queue accurately and spontaneously. Clearly, these pupils had excellent foundations in French literacy on which their subsequent language learning at secondary school could build. One possible question raised by the Physical French Phonics approach concerns the extent to which there is space left in the curriculum for many other valuable aspects of language learning (such as the development of spontaneous oral language use; or the opportunity to engage with stimulating French texts and to develop strategies for comprehending these). However, perhaps the best answer to this question would be to ensure the availability of sufficient curriculum time to ensure that pupils made good progress in all these (and other) aspects of language learning, generating a real sense of achievement and momentum --Dr Robert Woore, Departmental Lecturer, University of Oxford Department of Education
