What kids do

- Circle mon, ma or mes.
Teacher tip
Have kids circle the last letter of each family word first. Plural words with -s get mes.
How to use it
- Show a family drawing of your own and introduce each person: Voici ma sœur.
- Sort the family words into le and la before kids write.
- 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.
