Teacher tip
Draw a simple family tree on the board and label it together before the matching.
How to use it
- Read the passage out loud once, then let kids reread it with a partner.
- Show a family drawing of your own and introduce each person: Voici ma sœur.
- Say every French word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Using ma before a vowel. Before a vowel it is mon: mon amie.
Talk about it
- Why do we say ma mère but mon père?
- Is this word masculine or feminine? How can you tell?
