The most important thing you can do to help your child succeed in French Immersion is to show an interest. Here are some suggestions for helping your child in French. Even if your knowledge of French is limited, it is more important that your child is practising and thinking in French.
- Listen to your child read the work they have written. If you do not understand, then ask your child to explain.
- Ask your child to tell you about French signs and advertisements you see in the community, online, in packaging arriving at your house, etc...
- Read a recipe in French and prepare the meal together: - have your child prepare ingredients ahead to ensure they understand the French verbs (chop - tranché, grate cheese- râpé du fromage, etc...)
- Encourage your child to listen to French radio or television (cartoons, sports, music videos, etc.). You can try:
- MiniTFO (Mini French Television Ontario)
- Curio.ca/fr/ (search for French and choose the correct age-group in the menu bar to the left)
- changing the language on Netflix (audio, not just subtitles)
- Google search French TV for Kids and you will find sites such as KidsWorldCitizen (https://kidworldcitizen.org/french-cartoons-kids/)
- Encourage your child to read to you in French:
-French library books
-Boukili (https://boukili.ca/fr) (Reading - Listen and Read)
-https://www.thefrenchexperiment.com/stories (Reading-Read Alouds)
-Lalilo (french) (French phonetics)
-Sora (https://soraapp.com/welcome/login/201613) (Sora can be found on the Student Portal - please scroll further down for the French section)
- Play the French version of a board game or video game or use an English version, but interact in French (Bonjour Monopoly! Salut Risk! 😆)
- Play cards in French. Write down key sentences to use before you start.
C'est ton tour.
Non, je n'ai pas un ______________.
Prenez une carte (Pick a card).
