Vocabulary in writing
Observe the word, write it, read it and write it in sentences. 26 resources, one list of words.
The resources go from the first year of nursery school to the end of CP, the first year of primary school. They follow the French guide “Pour enseigner la lecture et l'écriture au CP” (2019, page 96), where the word is first observed, then hidden to be written without the model.
