Advantages of our Grade One Readiness Program:
- Focus: develop foundational literacy skills for French Immersion students entering Grade 1 in September
- Twice a week sessions to provide practice opportunities and promote retention
- Balance between meaningful lessons to build the foundation of French literacy, skill-building games, and dance breaks!
- Reading skills develop best when anchored into the student's existing knowledge base
- Includes: structured opportunities to develop listening/comprehension and oral language skills.
Does this sound like you?
Your child had a great time in French Kindergarten. They've learned the alphabet, can sing songs, and will even spontaneously use French at home sometimes! They worked hard in Kinder, and you're happy with their progress, but don't know what their next step is.
You would love for your child to continue developing their French, but you feel you don't know enough French to help them. Most home support is sight words, number practice, or watching French cartoons. You're looking for something more meaningful, more targeted. Something that aligns directly with what they'll cover in grade 1 to set them up for success - but still allowing them to have fun and enjoy summer.

Here's a checklist to see where your child is at with their reading.
♢ Are they actively tracking the words on the page, or do they look to the pictures to help?
♢ Do they sometimes say the complete wrong word, guessing based on the first letter?
♢ Do they know all vowel and consonant sounds? Can they combine these sounds into 2-3 letter words?
♢ Can they pronounce silly, made-up-words, such as bi, na, fo?
♢ What happens when you cover up the pictures of a book? Does this impact your child's reading?

At French Immersion Success, I use a unique methodology to pre-teach key concepts and develop the foundation of phonological skills your child will need to start reading in French.
The best part? You have the option to be involved in your child's learning.
You don't need to sit on the sidelines. You can add on a parent course, accessible at any level of French!
You do not need to learn an entire language just to support your child in French Immersion. You need to know the essentials. If you elect to join the parent course, you learn the content too! We also go over how to best support your child and give you learning games and activities to do during the week.
