Description
Encourage primary school pupils to become independent French readers with this collection of 6 short, highly-illustrated French information readers.
The Brilliant French Information Books are ideal for Key Stage 2 (KS2) children who don’t like reading stories. Specially written by Danièle Bourdais and Sue Finnie to support young French learners, these non-fiction books consolidate core vocabulary and reinforce language patterns, while being packed full of information and photos of the French-speaking world which will broaden pupils’ perceptions and develop their intercultural understanding.
The Level 2 books are ideal for children in Years 4 and 5 who have been studying French for one or two years.
The Brilliant French Information Books, which are published by Brilliant Publications, come packaged with a teaching guide and CD-Rom containing pdf copies of the books for display on interactive whiteboards and audio recordings of the texts, making them ideal for use by non-specialist teachers.
These colourful photographic books:
- Consolidate core vocabulary
- Introduce unfamiliar language in a controlled way, to enable children to start reading French straight away, without being daunted
- Include repetition to reinforce language patterns
- Contain in-built progression and differentiation
- Introduce pupils to life in France and other French-speaking countries
- Contain fun memory quizzes to check understanding
- In-built progression
To ensure progression and differentiation, there are three easily identifiable levels of difficulty.

For less advanced learners, the Level 1 books typically have a single short sentence per page, while the books at Level 3 have 3-4 sentences of varying length per page.
