Abstract
The curriculum is divided into several stages, with the first stage emphasizing the integration of significant indices and mechanisms in reading and transcription. This stage is further divided into two paliers, with the first palier focusing on integrating vocabulary, simple syntax rules, and the present indicative tense in written production. In the first palier, students are expected to develop their ability to produce written sentences of one to two phrases related to social contact. This is achieved through the integration of vocabulary, syntax rules, and the present indicative tense. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of graphismes, or basic handwriting skills, and provides exercises for students to practice these skills. The curriculum also places a strong emphasis on reading and transcription skills. Students are expected to learn to read and transcribe words, including common words such as "papa," "maman," and "monsieur." The curriculum provides exercises for students to practice reading and transcription, including activities such as recopying words under drawings and numbering labels in the correct order to create a greeting. In addition to reading and transcription skills, the curriculum also emphasizes the importance of production of written texts. Students are expected to develop their ability to produce written texts, including greetings and other short messages. The curriculum provides exercises for students to practice production of written texts, including activities such as creating combinations of lines and shapes. The curriculum is designed to be used in conjunction with other teaching materials, including cahiers de brouillon (draft notebooks) and cahiers d'expression écrite (written expression notebooks).
