Plouf and the Magic Seashell — Large Grade 1 Activity Book

“What’s that letter again?” Your child has been stuck on the very same word for five minutes, their shoulders slump, and you can feel the frustration rising on both sides of the table.

In CP (the French Year 1 / Kindergarten stage for ages 6–7), everything happens at once: letters turn into sounds, sounds blend into words, and those words must finally be read aloud with confidence. It is a milestone year, and all it takes is a few dull worksheets to turn this great leap into an evening chore.

With Plouf, the little reef fish, your child is no longer opening an ordinary workbook: they are setting off on a mission. The great reef seashell has lost its eight pearls and can no longer sing. With every completed chapter, a pearl is recovered, the magic returns, and your child learns without even realising it.

What’s inside this workbook

• A real story in 8 chapters, illustrated on every page, where your child sets out to find the 8 lost pearls of the great seashell.
• A proper English beginning-reading progression: short and long vowels, blending syllables, first words, key digraphs, and first full sentences to read and write (specially written for English-speaking children, not translated word for word).
• Gentle maths and science based on the French CP curriculum: numbers up to 60, first additions and subtractions, all set in an engaging ocean world.
• 86 pages in large A4 format, including 64 full-colour activity pages, complete with a game at the end of every chapter.
• Eight pearls to colour in, full answer keys for parents, and a certificate of completion on the final page.

Who is it for?

• Children aged 6 to 7 (CP level), discovering reading and their first maths steps.
• Children who learn best through playful storytelling rather than dry repetition.
• Parents who want to support this crucial learning year without turning homework into a daily battle.

Imagine, in just a few weeks’ time…

Your child picks up the workbook all by themselves to “help Plouf find the next pearl”. They sound out a word, then read a whole sentence, look up with a proud smile, and ask what happens next in the story. Reading is no longer an uphill struggle: it becomes an adventure they genuinely want to continue.
