  4. Le futur proche

    Talking about what is about to happen with aller + a verb, and telling past from future.

    Plural spellings: -eau/-eu/-ou nouns add an x, and -al nouns become -aux.

  6. Préfixes et suffixes

    Using prefixes and suffixes (re-, dé-, in-, -ette, -eur, -ier) to work out the meaning of new words.

  7. L'idée principale

    Reading a short text and telling the main idea apart from smaller details.

What the report card levels look like at home

Beginning
Just getting started with this idea. Short, regular practice with lots of support helps most.
Approaching
Understands parts of it and is building confidence. Keep practising the tricky parts.
Meeting
Has it! Meeting is the goal for every outcome. Mixed review now and then keeps it strong.
Exemplary
Applies it confidently, even in new or harder situations. Try challenge mode and real-life problems.
