Description
Petite Pauline kit

This play carries a good message, especially for the primary student who may often feel small at times. In this story, the youngest daughter of the family who, throughout the play is not appreciated, is the one who saves the day!

Both Core French and Immersion teachers have been thrilled with Histoires en action ! pour les tout petits 1A, 2A and 3A, the AIM approach for young beginners. Now, Petite Pauline, the fourth-level kit, is available! This kit features a wonderful new original play by Wendy Maxwell. This tale points out that special things often come in small packages. Great new songs and raps.


Enhance your kit with the following extras:
JAMAIS- Reader
A darling family pet loves his owner, Rachelle, and would do anything to protect her, or at least in its mind he would. This comical tale entertains but tugs at the heart with its story about belief in oneself.

We solve many of the challenges language teachers face.

The Gesture Approach

The AIM is a methodology that supports students by providing strategies and techniques that ensure student language acquisition and a high level of engagement. The Gesture Approach allows students to visualize, hear, say and 'feel' the language simultaneously, resulting in rapid proficiency development.

A Literacy- and Arts-Based Approach

Through the use of story and drama, songs, raps, and dances, students are moving to the language as they create meaning. Scaffolding and cooperative learning strategies help all students - the shy, weak, and strong - to find great support and success.

High-Frequency Vocabulary

One of the most important aspects of AIM that ensures student success is the high-frequency vocabulary (Pared-Down Language) that threads throughout every aspect of this methodology. AIM is designed such that each word is repeated extensively, allowing students to develop a strong foundation for language proficiency.
