French
Immersion Resources for Parents/Students
I’ve had parents asking about resources to help their child
practice French at home. Here are a few ideas and links:
During the summer: like anything, DAILY practice, even if
only for 10-15 minutes goes a LONG way in helping your child prepare, feel
ready, develop confidence and have success in gr.7.
CEFR (Common European Framework): most current approach for
our students learning French in Ontario. Here’s a link with details:
A couple of good resources for your child to work in and
prepare for gr.7: http://www.mygiftedchild.com/French-Immersion-En-route-vers-le-succs-6.html
And,
There are many resources out there, searching the web is
helpful. Students do need to speak the language to feel comfortable. To this
end, they need others to converse with or, texts they can read along with.
There are many French books available on line at our city of Ottawa Library
website. Using your library card will give you access to tons of resources! Students
reading along out loud with a voice-recorded book will help a lot! Visit: https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/fr
Very informative document from the ministry: https://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/literacynumeracy/parentGuideFrench.pdf
Good luck! J M.K.
