What does the Writing programme in French offer?
An interactive programme developing Writing in French through Six progressive language levels, with audio and visual explanations, practice and regular assessment.
How does your child learn in the programme?
They see a clear model, hear explanations and pronunciation, practise during the lesson, then complete assessment and reinforcement.
How do I choose the right level?
