Pop-up books

Pop-up books are particularly interesting tools for teaching sounds and letters in a concrete and meaningful way.

Through manipulation, children discover a sound through a sensory experience that captures their attention and encourages engagement. Each sound is associated with a clear visual cue, a noise or onomatopoeia, as well as an image chart that includes it in different words.

This allows children to:

  • make connections between sound, letter, and meaning
  • observe the different possible spellings of the same sound
  • see the sound appear at the beginning, middle, or end of words

A rich and concrete foundation that facilitates the understanding and memorization of sound-letter correspondences.

Pre-Kindergarten (4 and 5-year-olds)

Fill-in-the-blank stories

Fill-in-the-blank stories are a ready-to-use phonological awareness activity.

They allow for:

  • making children aware of a specific sound and letter
  • providing an auditory bombardment of the targeted sound in a meaningful context
  • embedding learning in a complete story with a clear narrative structure

They are an excellent complement to activities like Tell Me the Sounds, by allowing for reinvestment of sounds in a more global and significant context.

The complementary printable activities allow for:

  • continuing learning
  • offering independent workshops
  • varying practice contexts

A simple solution to integrate phonological awareness into the routine.

Specialized Education

Magnetic Books - I pronounce

The magnetic books in the Je prononce collection are a versatile tool to support students who have language, reading, or writing difficulties.

They not only allow for working on the pronunciation of a targeted sound but also for raising awareness of sentence structure in a concrete and visual way.

When the sentence strip is used to hide the pictograms and the sentence from the book, the activity can become a guided writing task, where the student is invited to write the illustrated sentence.

They notably allow for:

  • reinforcing sentence structure (subject – verb – complement)
  • supporting the student in a structured and accessible writing activity
  • using magnetic pictograms as support to build the sentence
  • allowing the student to write directly on the sentence strip with an erasable marker
  • working on a specific sound, present in words, to reinforce certain correspondences

A concrete and structured tool that links oral language, reading, and writing, while supporting students in their learning.

Adaptation Class (Language, ASD, ID)

Magnetic Books - Vocabulary and Sentences

Magnetic books are particularly suitable for adaptation classes, especially in language, ID, or ASD classes, because they offer a visual, concrete, and structured support that facilitates comprehension and participation.

Their functioning makes language visible and manipulable, which is essential for students who need clear guidance and more explicit learning.

They allow, in particular, to:

  • support comprehension through pictograms that illustrate each word
  • make sentences concrete by building them one word at a time
  • offer a stable and predictable structure (subject – verb – complement)
  • encourage active participation through the manipulation of magnets
  • reduce cognitive load by presenting information one step at a time
  • adapt to the student's level (with or without visual support thanks to the sentence strip)

They are particularly relevant for students:

  • who need strong visual support
  • who benefit from structured and repetitive learning
  • who have difficulty organizing their ideas orally or in writing

An accessible, reassuring, and highly structured tool that supports language in a context adapted to the needs of students in specialized classrooms.
