Elaborations

building phonic awareness by recognising and experimenting with sounds and rhythms, focusing on those that are novel and initially difficult such as u (tu), r (très rapide) and -ion (attention!)
listening closely to distinguish between sounds such as bon, bien and beau or chien, chat and champ
understanding that intonation patterns create different meanings, as in the distinction between statements, questions and exclamations (Tu as six ans. Tu as six ans? Tu as six ans!)
developing pronunciation, phrasing and intonation skills by singing, reciting and repeating words and phrases in context
becoming familiar with the French alphabet, noticing similarities and differences to English, for example, double-v, i-grec, and the possible confusion between g and j
