It is mainly due to the frustration, and lack of confidence.
How can that be avoided then?

 

Earlier this week, I communicated with 3 parents having their children in grade 6. What came out from all those conversations was that their children are struggling with French reading & comprehension. Encountering difficulties in French reading negatively impacts the kids’ overall school performance. In fact, it affects their ability to excel in other subjects such as Math, Science and even Social studies. Most Parents feel unable to help their kids because they are themselves not fluent French speakers. As a result, most students end up switching from the French immersion to an English program once they reach grade 7.

 

Here are some recommendations to strengthen the kids’ ability to succeed in a French immersion program.

 

Based on my teaching experience, early age school years, Grade 1-3, are the building blocks of the Reading & Comprehension skills in each language. Those are the critical years of primary school, and students tend to be more receptive to the teaching at that level.

 

Be Proactive!
As a parent, if you ever notice that your child is struggling with reading and/or comprehension in French, address it right away before it is too late. Talk to the teacher, seek help from tutors or any other supplementary teaching/learning tool.

 

Build that Confidence!
One very important teaching tip is making sure it is customized to meet each kid’s needs. Every child is different, so parents should be willing to invest time in supporting their child during their language learning journey. Feeling supported helps reduce/eliminate frustrations and strengthen confidence. Parents implications is a key in this process. The outcomes are worth the efforts.

 

French Literacy skills, Writing and Reading abilities, are compulsory when learning to be fluent!
