Inmersión en francés: preparación para la lectura (Aprenda a leer en francés)

Bonjour! This is a class for students who have had experience with the French language, preferably an immersion style, and are ready to learn the skills to begin reading.

STUDENT LEVEL
This class is designed for students who have spoken French in-home or school for a significant period of time. In order to take this class, students must:
-Have taken/experienced immersion French (6+ months)
-Be able to have basic conversations (greetings, favorites, common activities, etc.) in French without help from English translations or an adult
-Be able to understand instructions and participate in activities 100% in French with little English support


Each week, we will work on different aspects of reading readiness: letter recognition, appreciating books and reading, phonological awareness, and retelling/repeating stories. We will also practice some basic vocabulary and speaking skills.

By the end of this class, students will be ready to take a class that teaches reading in French.
