MME ANDREA

ENROLLMENT IS OPEN!

REPEATED READ ALOUDS TEACHALONG!

The Repeated Read Alouds TeachAlong is a self-paced, self-guided online course for French primary teachers. While I used to run my TeachAlongs live, now I offer them from my TeachAlong Library, giving teachers like you the chance to purchase my courses at any time and work through them on your own schedule. So, keep in mind that there will be no live Q&A sessions, weekly email check-ins, or giveaways to guide you through after purchase.

A place for maternelle, première année, and deuxième année teachers to get the resources and support they need as they get started with repeated read alouds in their classrooms!

Many teachers have told me that they struggle with finding quality read-alouds that their students understand and enjoy in their second language...but that also aren't too simple (and boring!).

 

This used to be a big problem for me, too. All my favourite read-alouds in English went WAY over my students' heads in French. We would spend so much time just figuring out the surface-level stuff that I struggled to guide them to also understanding the deeper subtleties and complexities within the text.

 

But, I found a solution to that problem—one that allows me to choose almost any read-aloud book—Repeated Read Alouds! And now, I'm sharing exactly how I use this concept to take my students from confused to comprehending.

 

Transform your teaching from overwhelming to engaging, without spending hours creating resources, searching for motivation, or feeling like you don’t even know where to begin.

 

In my Repeated Read Alouds TeachAlong (an affordable 7-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 checklists and challenge sheets 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 close reading-focused resources — THIRTEEN of the Repeated Read Aloud resources I've used in my own classroom!

  • Video trainings from me, explaining exactly how and when I used the resources

FLEXIBILITY

  • Go through the course on your own schedule and at the time of year that makes the most sense for your Scope & Sequence or instructional schedule
  • Each week, you'll have access to two repeated read aloud lessons and videos about how I used the resources in my classroom. You'll choose which one you want to use the following week, and you'll only prep the lesson you plan to teach!

SUPPORT

  • Lists of the repeated read aloud books you'll need to borrow or buy, lists of suggested materials, helpful printing/laminating tips, etc.
  • A welcome guide, text summaries, and checklists for each week to keep you focused and on track

VIRTUAL BOX OF RESOURCES

If you need resources, I've got 'em!

 

When you join the Repeated Read Alouds TeachAlong™, you'll get $52 worth of resources (13 complete Repeated Read Aloud packs).

 

Each Repeated Read Aloud pack contains FIVE complete lessons for you to complete with your students (approx. 30-45 minutes). Most packs also include a bonus, optional activity you can use to close out the week. You'll choose one of the two options released each week to teach the following week.

 

How would it feel to have your read-aloud block COMPLETELY planned and prepped for the next 6+ weeks?

I know that teaching is busy and stressful. 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, each week, all you'll have to do is choose ONE 15-minute (ish) video to watch and ONE resource pack to prep, and you have a whole week to get it done. The prep is simple, too! Aside from the reading strategies posters, which can be reused week to week, the rest is print, copy, and go!

 

And, remember: You have access to TWO new Repeated Read Aloud packs and videos each week...and you have access to them for always. That means that you can always come back and watch/download the lessons you didn't use during the TeachAlong after it's over...so you could have up to THIRTEEN weeks of reading comprehension strategies completely ready to go!

Mme Andrea’s course is definitely worth it! She provides a variety of resources and instructions so that it can be seamlessly and easily incorporated in the classroom. The videos are not too long and get straight to the point, and the workbook contains so much valuable information, including the written captioning of the videos. The length of the course is manageable... I definitely recommend taking a course with Mme Andrea!​

WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT LEARNING FROM ME:

As a first-time, first grade FI teacher, this course was indispensable. When I accepted the job, I didn't know how to begin teaching the kids literacy, especially after missing so much time due to COVID. With this course, I knew WHAT to do and HOW to do it. I was able to give my first graders a strong foundation in [the] ABCs and oral language at the beginning of the year. I am not sure what I would have done without it! Also Mme. Andrea is awesome. She is very encouraging and supportive; you will love working with her. Highly recommend!

- Beth C.

 

I absolutely loved the ABC Bootcamp. What a great way to do the letters. The videos were great at explaining routines and such. The length of the course was perfect; we actually had time to complete activities. I loved the check-ins; [they] gave me time to prep materials needed in advance. I will definitely sign up for the next course. Bonus was having access to other teachers' ideas. What a great group of sharing colleagues. 

- G.M.

 

Mme Andrea's La rentrée...une ré​ussite! made my September/October run the smoothest [they] ever [have]! Her content was relevant for my grade ones, and the setup was easy to follow along with. I loved her videos, and the explanations were clear, concise, and practical!

- Ashley B.

 

I have been following Mme Andrea for about three years now. When she started her Club du primaire [membership], I subscribed right away knowing that she would be able to help me out since I had just changed over to a French school board and [was] teaching Kindergarten, as well. Since then, I have been a part of many Q&As and live streams just to get the support and help that I need. She has made my transition over amazingly smooth, as well as helped me with my confidence to teach a new grade level for the first time in seven years. The resources are all useful in different ways, and whenever I have a question or concern, I always jump on to the Facebook groups that she has to see if there are answers there first! Thank you for everything!

- Michelle B.

 

Absolutely loved the La rentrée course. The content was super organized with an optional printable or digital workbook. The videos were informative, and the resources were superb and well worth beyond the cost of the course. Mme Andrea was quick to respond to questions and offered plenty of live sessions to answer questions about the course. I loved having access to the private Facebook group, as teachers were able to support each other and share ideas - particularly this year, as it has been an added challenge to teach. The course for La rentrée helped me feel more confident teaching in a COVID classroom, as suggestions and support were shared. Merci Mme Andrea!

- Angela W.

 

I absolutely loved this course! I have been teaching for over 20 years, and [I] was desperate to inject a new approach to my program delivery without sacrificing my own philosophy for teaching. The ABC Bootcamp has been a gift, and I am astounded by my kinder students’ enthusiasm for the new letter each day. Not only are they enthusiastic, but their recognition of letter sounds has increased significantly, and I am so excited to start up a group of readers when we are through. In the past, I have done Jolly Phonics with one letter a week, and [I found] it to be too slow—it [was] March before we [could] really get moving. I teach a group of junior and senior kinders, and the ideas and activities provided allow for a great deal of differentiation. I enjoyed the sessions/videos with Andrea, and [I] also liked the guest speakers—[I] also purchased a number of their resources as a result. I love the extension activities and the oral communication reinforcement. [I] liked the timing of the course, and [I] found it easy to follow along before school started, but [I] must admit that once my own students returned...I found it more difficult to keep up. Prepping ahead has been my saving grace. I have always liked Mme Andrea’s resources for being helpful, [for being] in French, and [for being] inviting...[I] just signed up for Club du primaire this weekend! Merci! Keep up the great work—you are helping me be a more effective teacher!
