Built for every reader

Inclusive reading tools for French Immersion

Same story. Same class conversation. Six built-in supports so your child can read French at home with confidence — whether or not you speak French.

1

Three differentiated reading levels

Every passage is written at three levels so siblings and classmates read the same story at their own level.

Facile — Short sentences, everyday words — for readers who need more support.

Moyen — The grade-level target most children start with.

Difficile — Richer syntax and academic French for confident readers.

One tap switches to a dyslexia-friendly font and larger text. Settings stay on for every story.

Syllable colour decoding

Syllables are coloured and silent French letters fade to grey, so tricky words become readable.
