Reading and writing French
students engage with a wide variety of authentic Francophone literature and texts (oral, written, and visual) to develop critical reading skills, analyze different perspectives, and grasp deeper meaning and structure.
Guided reading with leveled books is an integral part of the process, particularly in primary grades.
This course continues to build on the communication skills developed in Grade 8.
Using authentic, everyday situations, students will develop their vocabulary and grammatical skills through oral and written work.
The French 9 text will be decided at a later date. Active participation is the key to success in this course.
The French way of reading and writing is very challenging at first, but as you learn more about French it get easier
When you read French, you learn a lot more new words than just learning from textbook, later on you will start to understand how the grammar works in French.
Sometimes the words looks weird because their spelling is not spelled the way they use it. Maybe also because the words are spelled different from English, but after a while you could learn a few vocabulary phrases.
Writing French is also good because it makes you think more about grammar, like which verb ending to use or if the noun is masculine or feminine.
People think making mistakes is good for you. Making mistakes in reading and writing can help you to understand French better by knowing how you got it wrong.
By practicing more and more, your reading and writing in French can improve and make your French skills more fluent.
