English primary course/materials for anglophone child being educated in French school

5 replies

My 8 year old daughter (bilingual English/French) is moving back into a state French primary school (from a French school with a bilingual English class).

We are a British family so English is spoken 100% at home. I would like to spend a couple of hours a week doing some more formal English learning with her, focusing on spelling patterns, grammar, punctuation, writing etc.

There is an option of English lessons through an organisation for bilingual children near us but the timings don't work for us for the next academic year.

For the last two years she has had English lessons at school with a native English teacher with other bilingual kids. Her reading level is good (we have lots of age appropriate English fiction at home) and she can write fairly well albeit with quite a lot of spelling mistakes.

Could anyone suggest some materials I could use? Text books, websites etc.

Thank you in advance!

My DS's school (international school with U.K. curriculum) uses Spelling City and it's helped a fair bit. Spelling has never been his strong point. That's at www.spellingcity.com

Kumon writing work books could be what you're looking for. The only issue is that they use American spelling.

These are good

Thanks all. I particularly like the look of the CGP books - exactly what I was hoping to find, and reasonably priced too!
