Are you considering French Immersion with your child and you’re not certain how you can help?
Hi! I am Jenny Gray. I graduated the University of Western, Ontario with an Honours French Linguistic and Literature degree. I have spent the last 18 years assisting many students (of all ages) to learn French phonemically to increase their ability to read, write and speak French. I present at various venues all over Ontario on how phonics is the key to language acquisition while demonstrating the patented methodology.
French Sounds was initially designed for a dyslexic child who started in French Immersion, attended a French first language high school where he graduated on the Honour roll! He has completed college and works in the field of his choice!
“If students hear it, they can say it.
If students can say it, they can read it.
If students can read it, they can write it."
In learning to recognize letter combinations, students will learn the phonemic blends which will enhance their ability to sound out and correctly spell words in French.
French Sounds makes it easy to present orally in having confidence in proper pronunciation and eliminating the fear of sounding silly.
French Sounds makes it easy to read more fluidly in order to accelerate the comprehension process.
French Sounds makes it easy write more effectively as learners would know the correct combinations of sounds to form words.
In creating French Sounds, my goal was to have a simple concept with mass results. By creating a solid foundation for language learners, French Second Language becomes easy! How else will you learn to read, write, speak and understand if you do not know the sounds of a different language?
That is the uniqueness of this method. #Phonics in a box!

Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds in words, and is the ultimate goal of most instructional programs (Robertson & Salter, 2007).
There is an abundance of evidence linking phonological awareness training and reading achievement, particularly when the focus of the instruction is phonemic awareness.
(Expert Panel on Literacy & Numeracy Instruction, 2005). An excerpt from Wise&Chen CMLR Focus on the Classroom
At Watermelonworks™, we specialize in French phonological awareness, more specifically #phonemicawareness in which students learn letter-sound correspondence and blended letter-sound correspondence. Complex phonemic identification in a patented methodology that is easy for students to achieve maximum results in #french language acquisition.
In simpler terms, we decode the language for kids to learn the #French language as if it were their native language. Have you got your copy yet?
