We have gotten some simple French picture books from the library to read, to become familiar with the language. As well, we have read this book, "Claire's gift" by Maxine Trottier , a fantastic author. This is one of my favorites with its art reflecting the culture of Cape Breton in the 1800's.
As well, we have found "Something from Nothing" in French. We can't wait to stumble through it and let the words roll over us!
A nod to A for being so willing to take on the task of doing his first French test. This curriculum jumps in feet first and explains the why and what of possessive adjectives and direct articles and all sorts. Not for the faint of heart. But, we seem to be making slow headway. Letting the words pour over us and getting used to the grammar and the way the French speak within their own culture. I am so glad that our Reading and LA programs with CLP are so detailed in explaining structure and rules and grammatical names. It is helping us add on French a lot easier as Aidan knows what say, "pronoun" means.
