Join me at the Core French Connection Summit to learn about French Children Books in the FSL classroom!

Teach FSL with Children's books
Yes, I know—it’s still July, and I’m already writing about tools for your next school year! But trust me, you won’t want to miss the conference session I’m leading, packed with practical tips, tools, and innovative ways to teach Core French using children’s books. Get ready to transform your classroom!


THE CORE FRENCH CONNECTION SUMMIT WILL BE HELD ONLINE ON AUGUST 21 & 22, 2025
In my presentation, “French Picture Books: An Essential Tool to Teach Grammar and Francophone Cultures” you will discover how French picture books can be your new tool to seamlessly teach grammar and explore Francophone cultures with your Core French students.

You’ll learn how to select the perfect books, weave them into your long-term plans and CEFR themes, and adapt texts to suit your classroom. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies for teaching grammar and culture before, during, and after reading, as well as effective reading techniques to model for your students.

Join me and 17 other speakers at the Core French Connection Summit, where over two days you’ll find sessions on everything from curriculum design to teacher health and wellness.
