French Words for Kids

The "Dictée Montessori" app is a fun and interactive way to learn how to spell and pronounce French words. It offers 240 word-picture-audio combinations, carefully chosen based on their phonetic difficulty and classified into three levels of difficulty. This allows users to start with easy words and gradually progress to more challenging ones.

One of the unique features of this app is the ability to hear the sound associated with each letter when it is touched. This is a great way to become familiar with spoken French and improve pronunciation. Additionally, users can also hear the phonetic decomposition of each word by touching the white squares where letters must be dragged.

All letters and words are read aloud by a native French speaker, providing an authentic learning experience. For those who are more comfortable with English, there is also an option to hear the words pronounced by an American native speaker.

The app is based on a spelling activity from the Montessori method, which uses a Movable Alphabet to spell words of increasing difficulty. This method helps users associate the phonetic sounds of letters with their written symbols, making it easier to learn and remember new words.

To make learning even more engaging, there are 21 fun and interactive visual effects that can be played with once a word has been completed. The app also includes a standalone Mobile Alphabet, allowing users to build and play with letters to create their own words.

There are three types of letters provided - cursive, lowercase, and capital print - to cater to different learning styles. Solutions for each word are also available on-demand by simply touching a label. The app also supports multiple letter graphemes, such as "ch," "en," and "ill," making it suitable for learners of all levels. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features, "Dictée Montessori" is a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their French spelling and pronunciation skills.
