Practice & Learn French: Ages 9-11 by CGP Books

This is a book and DVD-Rom (to help with pronunciations). The DVD Rom has a nice little pocket at the back of the book to keep it in so it hopefully won't get lost. It also has the 7-9 and 5-7 French modules on it which are relevant to the separate books for that age group. These sections cover simpler versions of what this book covers plus bits about "in my pencil case", "my house" and "where do you live?" As for this book for the 9-11 age group the topics covered are:

- Hello!
- What is your name?
- Numbers
- Colours
- Months
- My family
- Animals
- Clothes
- Food
- What do you like doing?
- What time is it?
- The weather
- In my town
- Masculine and feminine
- Plurals

The book has activities for each as well as an answers section which can be pulled out of the centre so that your child's work can be checked. You may want to take this bit out (and it is easily detachable) before you give the book to your child in case they are tempted to cheat.

This book cannot be used again once done (unless you photocopy the pages). That's ok I suppose seeing as you want your child to progress to the next level anyway, but not so ok if you want another child to also do the same exercises. 

Overall then this is a useful aid to your child's learning, but probably to be used in conjunction with other teaching.

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed HERE.)
