The Tapsy Tales Series has been created by an experienced teacher of French as a Second Language who knows how difficult it can be to find stories written at a level that is simple enough for beginning students.

Watch your students become fully engaged in learning when given materials that are familiar as well as easy to read.

Oral participation becomes fun and less threatening when the simple scripts are used for classroom skits, puppets ........or...... dressed up for stage presentations.

Do you have students who prefer to express themselves through art?

The sketchbooks and comic cells are perfect for letting students do just that!
(It is also a great way to check a student's comprehension of vocabulary and storyline.)


Fsl contes

Each unit has the features listed below:

  • familiar stories
  • simple narrative in the present tense
  • 3 versions of each story
    1. numbered text lines for quick reference

    2. play script based on narrative text which expands and encourages the use of verbs in the conversational first and second persons as well as the narrative third person

    3. sketchbook designed with frames on each page for students to illustrate the story
      *text on each page also matches the numbered line version for easy reference.
  • French-English glossary specific to each story
