ENSEIGNONS LES AUTRES SONS ENSEMBLE
The doors to the Enseignons les autres sons ensemble TeachAlong™ will only be open to the public for a very limited time, in order to be sure that we grow and learn together and so that I can best support you during your start with sons composés. That time is between now and 11:59 PM EST on January 7, so make sure you join us ASAP, before they close until next time!
A place for maternelle, première, and deuxième année teachers to get the resources, support, and community they need as they teach les sons composés in their classrooms!
Many teachers have told me that they struggle with finding quality texts their students can learn to decode but that aren't too difficult and don't contain too many letters that don't make their "regular" sound.
Teachers are also looking for effective, efficient ways to help their students learn and recognize important sons composés (meaning, sounds composed of 2+ letters) as they read.
This used to be a big problem for me, too. My students would learn how to decode but then get frustrated with words that didn't follow the "rules," or where not every letter made its sound.
But, I found a solution to that problem -- one that allows me to teach decoding and les sons composés to all my students (whole-group and small-group) in context and in a way that makes sense for them. And, once again, I'm sharing exactly how I use this concept to take my students from confused to comprehending.
Inside my Enseignons les autres sons ensemble TeachAlong™ (an affordable 12-week experience created for French primary teachers), the hard work is done for you.
I’ll provide the resources, the answers to your questions, video trainings, and a challenge sheet to keep you on track and help you become the best teacher you can be -- without the overwhelm and burnout that normally goes along with it.
Here's what you get...
TEACHALONG™ PERKS
Here are the benefits you will receive as a TeachAlong™ member:
RESOURCES
A virtual “box” full of the sounds resources I use in my own classroom! Some of these resources are brand new and not yet available anywhere else!
This virtual box of resources includes 3-4 printable and/or digital decodable books for your students PER SOUND, as well as a ton of other valuable practice activities
You'll also get video trainings from me, explaining exactly how/when I use the resources
COMMUNITY
SUPPORT
VIRTUAL BOX OF RESOURCES
If you need resources, I've got 'em!
When you join the Enseignons les autres sons ensemble TeachAlong™, you'll get over 250$ worth of resources (including 24 digital/print sons composés blending books!) -- and some of them are BRAND NEW and not currently available anywhere else.
Each week contains a print/digital blending book for the target sounds (two options -- regular + an "easy reader"), interactive notebook pages for the target sounds, a Je peux lire mini book for the target sounds, a Décode et dessine l'image decodable reader for the target sounds (pictured on the left), two different types of "lis et colorie" sheets (images and letters), Phrases fantastiques, and more to help your students learn to read. You can use some or all of these resources to help your students find French phonics success!
Below is the list of resources included in this TeachAlong™:
How would it feel to have your phonics block all planned and prepped for the next 11+ weeks?
A COMMUNITY OF FRENCH TEACHERS JUST LIKE YOU
When you join us, you'll have access to a private Facebook community of teachers just like you -- French primary teachers from all over the country (and even some from across the world!), who are using the same resources and routines from the program that you are. This means that you will be able to ask questions and receive support from tons of other teachers, as well as from me! Teachers need community and collaboration...so let's build it together!
SUPPORT FROM ME
I'm here for you!
One thing that has been bugging me about my blog and TpT for a while is the lack of contact between us -- you download a resource or try an idea, but there isn't really a way for us to sit down together and brainstorm how you can really make my ideas and resources work for you in your classroom, with your students.
What I want most is for you to feel supported and for your students to learn as much as possible.
That's why, when you join the TeachAlong™, I'll be doing THREE live Zoom sessions, where I will answer your questions in real time (you'll be able to join live on Facebook OR Zoom).
And, I know first-hand what it's like to dread school prep and how hard it can be to find time to get things ready. That's why we'll also do a fun challenge within the TeachAlong™. Complete the challenge, and you'll have tons of new resources ready AND the chance to win some awesome prizes!
Let me help make your teaching life easier!
I know that this is a busy, stressful time of year. That's why for this TeachAlong™, I have focused on getting you the most bang for your buck -- I want you to be able to get the most planned/prepped with the least investment of time on your part.
That's why, for this TeachAlong™, I've created a Video Vault with quick videos that review each resource type that will be available to watch at anytime you like starting on January 7. You can come back and rewatch whenever you need! Then, each week, all you'll have to do is prep a few resources and add the digital books to your Google Drive, and you have a whole week to get it done.
You'll have access to the materials for as long as I have a business (so, hopefully forever, haha!). You can come back to anything you miss or don't get done next year.

BONJOUR! I'M MME ANDREA
I'm the creator of the Enseignons les autres sons ensemble TeachAlong™, and I help make French primary teachers' lives easier by providing an abundance of resources, support, and community.
I'm here to help you...
✔️ Spend more time enjoying teaching your students, instead of planning and prepping everything from scratch, reinventing the wheel, and feeling burnt out week after week.
✔️ Have more free time and reignite your passion and energy for your work.
✔️ Feel confident knowing exactly how to engage your class with all the resources you need that are en français, relevant to your grade level, engaging, and fun.
✔️ Feel supported and part of a community that’s cheering you on.
I just completed the Repeated Read Alouds TeachAlong™ with Mme Andrea, and it was exactly what I needed! It can be so overwhelming to implement new ideas and programs when you don't know where to start and what to do when. The TeachAlong™ style made implementing Repeated Read Alouds a BREEZE!
The videos, text summaries, and resources were so well put together and clear, making it easy for me to "teach along"! I was able to fit this new program easily into my daily routine and had access to an amazing group to ask any questions I may have had along the way. With the TeachAlong™, I was able to follow along with a group of like-minded teachers and knew exactly what to prep and what to teach when. The videos were short and concise, and the resources were easy to follow and use.
I love the TeachAlong™ style over a regular course, as it makes me feel accountable and connected with the other teachers and with Mme Andrea! The part I loved the most was that you were always prepping one week in advance and then teaching the material the following week. This made it so much more manageable with everything else going on during the school year. I highly recommend doing a TeachAlong™ with Mme Andrea to any and ALL French primary teachers! You are going to LOVE this so much!

WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT THE TEACHALONG™ STYLE OF PD:
As an experienced teacher BUT new to kindergarten, finding Mme Andrea this year was my “golden ticket.” Working [over] the past [weeks] with her new TeachAlong™ was a great addition to my classroom routines. [The] easy-to-follow content/videos and resource set-up each week was stress-free planning. My students enjoyed the various activities! I enjoyed the discussions the class had around each book and found it easy to extend the activities for my higher level learners. This program worked well for the second half of the SK year, and I could see it being a great tool to start the school year with grade one and two students.
- Ashley B.
I really enjoyed the format of the TeachAlong™. Having the information "dropped" to us in little chunks week by week made it much less overwhelming. I didn't feel like I had to print and prep a ton of materials all at once. Rather, I always felt very accomplished and ready for the week, because I was able to digest the information, lessons, materials, and videos in smaller parts and then get "that" part ready, not having to worry about "all the rest." The weekly check-in email to make sure I was on track and the ability to ask questions and have them answered during the livestreams (or in the [Club du Primaire Facebook group]) were so appreciated. Merci for a great course!
- Joanna A.
I was pleased to have participated in the Enseignons les mathématiques ensemble [TeachAlong™], as it helped me to get organized and stay focused on the end goal! I found the length of the course just right. Now, I have the materials ready for next year! I loved being able to go back to the videos, as often as I needed. ...My students loved their Math Kits, and I found it easy to observe/evaluate as they practiced the skills taught!
- Muriel N.
I love the TeachAlong™ format! Only having one week at a time meant I didn't get overwhelmed or feel like I was behind. The length of the videos were perfect. They gave enough information but were short enough that I could watch them both [for the week] while having my morning tea. Having the text summaries really helped me organize my teaching plans and allowed me to look back at anytime and from anywhere. This program has completely changed my read aloud block, and my students are loving it!
- Julie M.
I used almost all the courses/TeachAlongs™. I think the only one I haven't used is the blending sounds one. I love the videos she puts out. They really help to know how to teach the courses before you read the lesson plans. The lesson plans are easy to follow and make my job so much easier. [I use] the alphabet [TeachAlong™] at the beginning of the school year, and the writing [TeachAlong™] I use in the middle to the end of the year. My students JK/SK write now for 10 minutes every day. I don't do the live videos, but I always listen to the recorded ones. I like that I can do it on my own time. The resources are really good, as well. My teaching planning is better and less time-consuming [with] having all the courses and lesson plans/resources all there for me.
- Colleen H.
Les cours de Mme Andrea sont formidables! Tout est super bien organisé. Durant les cours de Mme Andrea, nous recevons tout le matériel nécessaire et même des petits extras! Mme Andrea ainsi que les membres de son équipe et-ou les participant(e)s au cours peuvent facilement partager (questions et commentaires) via un groupe facebook. J'adore les cours de Mme Andrea. Mes élèves aiment beaucoup les activités proposés par Mme Andrea.
- Caro B.
The TeachAlong™ for Lançons les centres de littératie ensemble was amazingly valuable to me. This is my first year teaching grade 1 French Immersion, and the amount of time and money this TeachAlong™ has saved me is priceless! Although it is quite a bit of work to print, laminate, and prep the centres, they’re done and ready for your next class. Mme Andrea’s videos were very helpful and gave me so many great ideas to use in my classroom. The length of the TeachAlong™ is perfect, and I chose to kind of go at my own pace. It’s a very flexible plan. I can’t thank Mme Andrea and her team enough for such a valuable use of my time! Now all of my centres are prepped and ready for next year. Merci!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are the answers to some of the questions I have most frequently been asked about enrolling in my programs and what's included:
If you were a member in one of our older online courses a couple of years ago, then you might be familiar with all of the course content being available the day the course kicks off. However, we're running the TeachAlong™ differently! We truly want everyone to work through it alongside each other, at the same pace, so each week's content will be released on Sundays. See the weekly breakdown above for those dates.
That being said, there is also a video vault and a resource vault that will be available from the very beginning of the TeachAlong™ -- those videos and resources you can access at any time! This way, you have the flexibility of getting ahead on some prep (if you choose).
In a word, YES! My goal is to make sure that it will be worth it for anyone who wants to join. Many of the resources in this TeachAlong™ are brand new and currently unavailable anywhere else. The entire TeachAlong™ is priced around 40% less than the total value of the included resources (over 250$).
The TeachAlong™ also contains videos that explain exactly how I use the resources and are full of tips for your classroom! Plus, you get early access to all the resources that aren't yet available anywhere else.
The Resource Vault includes the following:
Additionally, the following resources will be drip-released weekly based on each week's target sounds:
Due to the digital nature of the program, we are unable to offer refunds once the course begins (January 7, 2024). That being said, I will make an exception for you if you can forward me proof of your grade reassignment from your principal!
This TeachAlong™ is very focused on phonics and sounds (digrammes and trigrammes, specifically)! I chose to focus this course very specifically on using sounds to teach blending in French, since this is such an essential part of reading comprehension for language learners. Throughout this TeachAlong™, we will not be discussing any other subjects.
We understand that sometimes things come up, and you may find yourself unable to follow through with the TeachAlong™. You are welcome to email our team at andrea@maternelleavecmmeandrea.com if you need to cancel, but please be sure to read our refund policy below so that you know the window in which refunds may be granted and when they will no longer be granted.
Through January 6, 2024, you may be granted a refund, if you request one, because the TeachAlong™ content will be locked and inaccessible through this date. However, no refunds will be granted on January 7, 2024 and onward due to the digital nature of the TeachAlong™ and the access to the materials provided within it.
