This post has ideas for phonics anchor charts in French for you.
“Les tableaux d’ancrage” (= anchor charts) make learning visual, so they help students remember concepts and examples faster and more independently.
When you have those visual aids on the walls in your classroom, students can refer to them when needed.
Phonics Anchor Charts in French
When it comes to anchor charts, there’s something I need to emphasize: the best anchor charts are the ones you write and create with your students’ input and participation.
If your students are the ones in charge of actually writing and creating them, that’s even better! Of course, you’ll still need to supervise and make corrections.
The charts won’t look as neat as the ones in this post, but they’ll be more effective that way.
So grab some chart paper, markers or pencils, and let the fun begin!
How to organize information
Below are some examples of how to organize the information visually in your anchor charts.
The charts you create in your classroom don’t have to look exactly like the ones below. The anchor charts I’m including in this post serve to show how different they can look from one another.
- focus on one grapheme: great for brainstorming words that students already know that include a specific grapheme and/or phoneme.
If you’ve already been working with a sound, ask students to share with you the words they remember that include the sound. You can do the writing, or you can ask a few students to write the words on the chart. If they’re too young to write fast enough, ask them to make drawings to represent the words they remember. Then, you write the words.
Hang the anchor chart and have students keep on adding words to it every time they learn or find a new word that includes the sound.
- make lists of words that include a focus sound: for students to remember examples of words with a certain grapheme/phoneme.
- focus on one phoneme that can be represented by more than one grapheme: use an anchor chart like this when there’s more than one way to “spell a sound”
- focus on one grapheme that can represent more than one phoneme: in other words, one or more letters sound different depending on the word they’re in.
You can use anchor charts to review content, to brainstorm and find out what students already know about a topic, as a time-filler, as a kind of exit ticket, and so on.
Hope these examples of anchor charts in French will help you create your own.
