Last year Scholastic launched La Petite Presse, a 12-page magazine for pupils of Primary French aged 7-11. The magazine is issued four times a year and each magazine comes with a CD-ROM containing interactive games and activities, suitable for either individual or whiteboard use, along with word-for-word audio of the entire magazine content. Each issue also comes with a separate set of comprehensive teacher’s notes.

They recently carried out an online survey with teachers from across the UK and found many teachers had not heard of the magazine, They are keen to raise awareness of La Petite Presse, and would be happy to send 5 free copies (with the CD-ROM and Teacher’s Notes) of this year’s issue 1 to any schools who email them at: hcunningham@marygalsgowmags.co.uk .

In return they would appreciate knowing what you, your colleagues (and their pupils) think of the magazine, and to find out which other resources they use.
One last thing: if any schools would be interested in having a talk from one of the editors of La Petite Presse on teaching French at Primary, this is something they could also look at arranging.
