ZigZag+

Grades K-5

This three-level French-language program for children between 7 and 10 years old (grades 2-4). With its playful, clear, and spiraled in its progression, Zigzag+ takes into account the psych cognitive development and learning capabilities of young students. Students join Félix, a young blogger, as he travels throughout the French-speaking world chronicling his interactions with numerous friends including Lila, the friendly and greedy “Madame Bouba,” “Tilou” the wolf, “Pic Pic” the hedgehog, and “Pirouette” the owl.
