Reading in French Immersion

Access2Education

Learning to read is not as easy as just reading. It involves practice, work and learning sounds. When you add a second language it can seem to make learning to read even harder.
Today on the show I talk to Kim about her experience and practice with teaching children to read in French Immersion. It's not impossible and as you'll hear the strategies we use for one child can work for many children.
Key point:
- Reading means learning sounds
- The skill can be transferred
- Using structured literacy is key
- Resources
- History of some reading theories
