About
This course uses a syllabic approach to reading acquisition. Learning begins with sounds, then progresses to syllables, words, and finally sentences. This structured progression enables learners to develop reading, sound–spelling awareness, and writing skills simultaneously. The method is clear, progressive, and accessible to all learners. Originally designed for learners with low motivation, it emphasizes simplicity and efficiency, avoiding overly demanding exercises that can hinder confidence at the beginner stage. Grounded in over thirty years of practical experimentation, the method supports the gradual mastery of written French. Learning to read is approached as learning how to learn French. Through systematic exposure, learners build strong letter–sound correspondences, a foundation that supports accurate pronunciation and ongoing self-correction. As learners gain autonomy, they are able to anticipate the pronunciation of unfamiliar words by relying on the regular patterns internalized through reading, fostering confidence, independence, and long-term language development.
