Salut (French) – Structured Vocabulary Support (Free Sample)
£0.00
Free downloadable sample resource
This resource introduces the French word salut using a structured, meaning-first approach designed to support vocabulary understanding and retention. It is offered as a free sample so that parents and tutors can see exactly how the approach works before choosing other French resources in the range.
Rather than asking learners to memorise isolated words, this resource explains where a word comes from and how its meaning has developed over time. This can help vocabulary feel more logical and connected, particularly for learners who struggle with rote memorisation. Historical information is used only to explain meaning and is not content to be learned or recalled.
This resource is a complete item in its own right and also a representative example of the design principles used across the wider French structured vocabulary collection.
A clear, visual timeline showing how salut developed from Latin to Modern French
Simple illustrations to anchor meaning and reduce verbal explanation
Links to related English forms where helpful
Guidance designed to support recognition, understanding, and confidence
Best used in short sessions (around 5–10 minutes), revisited over time. An adult guides discussion and decides when to stop. This resource supports learning but does not replace teaching or practice.
It should not be used to teach ahead of school, to test a child, or to require memorisation of explanations or history. Turning the content into a quiz or recall task is likely to reduce its effectiveness.
Dyslexic learners studying French
Secondary-age learners who find vocabulary retention difficult
Parents, tutors, and intervention teachers supporting French learning
Learners who benefit from explicit, structured language explanation
Not a self-teaching programme
Not a replacement for French lessons or tutoring
Not designed for unsupervised independent study
Not intended for testing, quizzing, or memorisation
Success at this stage means recognising the word when it appears again, understanding that words can change meaning over time, and feeling more confident around vocabulary. Understanding word history supports recognition and understanding, but it does not automatically improve spelling or writing accuracy.

Black-and-white printing supported
