5. Practical Advice for Support at Home

•Test with flashcards: Hold the cards, read out the English and ask your child to say or spell the French translation.

•Enforce 15-minute revision daily slots: Help them build a consistent revision routine.

•Be a patient audience: Let them read and test their speaking responses out loud to you. You don’t need to understand it; just listening builds their confidence.

•Check their ‘3 tenses’ formula: Ask them, ‘Can you write/say this verb in the past, present and future?’ or ‘Is the verb in your sentence in the past, present or future?’
