Both core and immersion teachers have been thrilled with Histories en action ! pour les tout petits 1A and 2A, the AIM program for young beginners. Now, Où est mon chien ?, the third-level kit is available! Based on an enchanting original story by Wendy Maxwell and songs and raps co-written with Matt Maxwell, this kit will entrance and entertain young French students. Watch their fluency levels improve rapidly.

The Histoires en action ! pour les tout petits series of units has been created for the following reasons:

• to allow you to begin the AIM with very young students in core (FSL) or immersion programs, using plays that are shorter, simpler to learn and appropriate to the interests of the very young student
• to allow you to provide a preparatory program at the preschool or early primary grade levels before beginning Histoires en action! with older elementary students
