Encourage primary school pupils to become independent French readers with this collection of 6 short, highly-illustrated French information readers.

The Brilliant French Information Books are ideal for Key Stage 2 (KS2) children who don't like reading stories. Specially written by Danièle Bourdais and Sue Finnie to support young French learners, these non-fiction books consolidate core vocabulary and reinforce language patterns, while being packed full of information and photos of the French-speaking world which will broaden pupils' perceptions and develop their intercultural understanding.

The Level 1 books are ideal for children in Years 3 and 4 who have started to study French.

These colourful photographic books:

• Consolidate core vocabulary
• Introduce unfamiliar language in a controlled way, to enable children to start reading French straight away, without being daunted
• Include repetition to reinforce language patterns
• Contain in-built progression and differentiation
• Introduce pupils to life in France and other French-speaking countries
• Contain fun memory quizzes to check understanding
• Have in-built progression.

To ensure progression and differentiation, there are three easily identifiable levels of difficulty.

Level 1 books typically have a single short sentence per page.

Level 2 books typically have 1-3 short to medium sentences per page.

Level 3 books usually have 3-4 sentences of varying length per page.

The 6 Level 1 Brilliant French Information Books are:

• La France en couleurs
• Un, deux, trois . soleil !
• Des animaux importants
• Les jours de la semaine
• Bonjour tout le monde !
