OUR FSL EBOOKS & ACCOMPANYING TEACHING RESOURCES

9/7/2018

 
Our FSL collection of eBooks is designed to accompany additional resources being used in upper primary and middle school classrooms and links to common themes being covered in the classroom, as well as covering cultural aspects of life in Canada, France, Martinique and Senegal. Often, school textbooks offer a variety of vocabulary and grammar activities, but lack suitable reading material for students who are beginning to learn French. Our series aims to provide this reading material so that students can practice conversational vocabulary being taught in the classroom in a short book format, thus consolidating learnings in the classroom. Each eBook also comes with audio buttons so that students can listen to the stories independently and in group settings. Our free online eBooks can be viewed on any device with Internet, and can also be displayed on SMART Boards for group lessons. eBooks are also available in a printable PDF version.
The eBooks are divided into 3 different levels, and follow the lives of Marc Gagnon and his cousin Julie Pelletier. Each level introduces new vocabulary and additional grammar. Also, within each level, two types of books are provided:
FSL eBooks
A. Reading Comprehension:

The reading comprehension books are written from the perspective of either Marc Gagnon or Julie Pelletier.  They are intended for students to learn how to describe themselves, their interests, their family lives and their native countries. Some of the books are also written in email or letter format. Each level also includes reading comprehension books that address different aspects of the following countries: Canada, France, Martinique and Senegal – climate, geography, food, activities, cultural celebrations, etc.
