Books to Read in French Immersion

ShareTweetGooglePinterestMail

books-french-immersion-middle-school

French immersion students need exposure to a lot of different books, but more importantly, they need to be offered highly interesting texts that make reading fun! Not all kids love to read, but we know that reading is an amazing way to acquire new vocabulary and see grammar and idiomatic expressions in context.  By providing students with appropriately leveled texts that they want to read, we are helping them gain fluency and confidence.

Want some French reading comprehension strategies? Read this post.

Below are some of my favorite books to read with middle school French immersion students.

On a volé le Nkoro Nkoro – Thierry Jonquet

This is a fun, short book that is great for kids who might not be excited about reading. It’s only got six short chapters, so you can take time to explore the vocabulary. I also like that the author uses the imparfait and passé composé together as opposed to the passé simple, so kids get more exposure to the tenses together. The characters are also over the top, so it adds some humor.

It’s the story of two class clowns who get a magical gri-gri from Africa that suddenly helps them do well in school. Their teacher, Mme Camife, is not a kind woman (at all), and they definitely paint the image of her in the text. The boys are already at odds with their teacher. When they mysteriously start doing really well, she finds out their secret and steals the lucky charm from them. The boys get into some mischief trying to get the Nkoro Nkoro back from her.

L’oeil du loup – Daniel Pennac

This is one of my favorite books for 5th-6th grade French immersion! It’s the story of a young boy who meets a wolf in the zoo, and through looking into each others’ eyes, they tell their life stories. It’s great for adding vocabulary that might not come up in other classes. It also provides great discussion topics such as animal rights, children’s rights, kindness, empathy, and friendship. The chapters aren’t too long, so it’s accessible for students who are still developing reading skills. The text is complex enough that more-advanced students will benefit from the new vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, but I found that it offered just the right challenge for all of my students with a little bit of support for the less-advanced readers.

La balafre – Jean-Claude Mourlevat

I absolutely LOVE his books for young adults (and even to read on my own as a grown-up!) The stories are beautifully written, and they are challenging enough for more-advanced classes. There are big ideas to discuss, meaning you can bring a lot of your own ideas into your novel studies.

La balafre is about a young boy whose father is transferred to a new town. Upon moving there, a dog from a neighboring house begins to terrorize him. He later discovers a four year old girl at the house. No one believes him, because the house has been abandoned for decades. Obsessed by these visions that no one else believes, he begins to do research into the house that takes him back to 1941 and the German occupation. It’s full of history, but since it’s told through the eyes of a middle-schooler, it’s accessible enough for teenagers.

I read this once with 6th grade and found I needed to provide a LOT of support, mainly because they didn’t have the historical background to understand everything. I tried it again a few years later in the second semester of 7th grade, and it was great! We looked a lot at WWII and the occupation. We had a lot of great discussions about why people don’t stand up and do the right thing. Overall, there is so much you can bring to your class with the ideas here.

L’assassin de Papa – Malika Ferdjoukh

I loved this book, and my students did, too! This roman policier is the story of a boy, Valentin, and his dad who live in Paris. They are homeless and live on an abandoned barge on la Seine. The police are trying to find a man who has killed several women. Although Valentin’s father thinks he has seen the man, he doesn’t want to go to the police for fear that they will take Valentin away.

The book is great for discussing issues such as homelessness, education, and responsibility in a way that middle school students can understand. The language isn’t too hard, the chapters are short enough to assign a few a week, and the story is cute. We added in a service project by collecting toiletries for food pantries, and the students really got excited about this.

Le voyage de Mémé – Gil Ben Aych

I read this one with my seventh graders, and I really liked it. The true story takes place in 1962, and it details a day on foot across Paris that a young boy takes with his Algerian grandmother. The family is moving to another neighborhood outside of Paris. Everyone else in the family uses some form of transportation to get to the new home. Mémé, however, refuses to take the metro, the bus, or a car, so her grandson spends the day walking the 20 km with her.

The text is not too hard, and it allowed us to talk about some important topics that are still pertinent today, including immigration, misunderstandings between generations, and cultural differences.

À l’aube du destin de Florence –  Karine Perron

I really love this book! It is written from the viewpoint of a 15 year old Canadian girl whose best friend moves away. I love that it uses vocabulary specific to Quebec, and the book discusses so many things that are really prevalent in the lives of teenagers today : bullying, feeling alone, wanting to fit in, feeling pressure to act a certain way. Be aware : there is a suicide in the book, so this might not be the right choice for everyone. In the end, the story rewinds a bit to rewrite itself, so that character is alive at the end of the book. However, I did want to point this out if this is a subject you’d rather avoid.

Les fantômes de Spriritwood -Martine Noël-Maw

This is another book from Quebec. It’s a fun read that’s full of everyday speech that kids use. I particularly like that it is very focused on dialogue, and the majority of the story is told through the characters’ conversations. It makes reading it a bit like reading a play, helping kids work on different comprehension strategies.

This book is maybe not one I’d read as a whole class, because it talks about ghosts (obviously from the title 😉). Depending on your students and/or school, you might not feel comfortable with the supernatural topics in this book. If this book interests you, I think it would make a great book to add to a class library that kids could choose. The back cover says for 12 years and up. The topics and language are a little mature for 6-7th grade, so in my opinion, this one would be better suited for 8th graders.

I hope you find some books for French immersion that your students will love!

    As a brand new French teacher, I have a question: Do you purchase these books yourself, and then make copies for the class? How does that work?

      Great question!
      Copying a book is illegal, as the material is copyrighted and reproduction is prohibited. To use a book in class, you have to have an actual book for each student. If you teach multiple classes, a cheaper way to do this is to have a class set that you use in class. Students have access to the text in class, and you only have to buy as many as your largest class plus a few extras. If you are a 1:1 school, there are digital copies of a lot of these, and those are often a little cheaper.
      I’d recommend talking to your administrator to see what money you have for supplies and/or textbooks. I usually didn’t use textbooks, so my novels came from the textbook fund. Of course, money is different in each school, so what you are allowed will depend greatly on your school.

    Thank you for this list. I’ve been teaching for 23 years and suddenly find myself in a 6 and 8 immersion class (this is a long story in itself). In my regular English class I always had a novel (read aloud) on the go and want to do the same in an immersion but had no idea where to start. I am having trouble finding these books to purchase however. Any websites that I should be looking at to find these books? (Even just a teacher copy would be a start let alone a class set). Any insights? Thank you.

      Hi there! I’ve purchased a number of them either in France or in Canada. However, I have actually also bought copies of all of them from Amazon as well and had them delivered to school or my home. A few were not available as books when I needed them, so I was able to buy a Kindle copy. I usually just keep a list of authors I like and periodically check to see what I can find, because the availability changes all the time. If you were interested in just having a teacher copy for read-aloud, that would be an easy way to get one copy. (I also don’t even have a Kindle, but I use the Kindle App on my iPad).
      A few other sites that I’ve used are LecturesdeFrance.com, écolesdesloisirs.fr, and lirecestpartir.fr, but I think that the last one only delivers in France. It would be worth checking into, though, because they have a lot of books!
      Best of luck with the new classes! I taught 6th for years and it’s one of my favorite grades. 🙂

    Hi, I’m just looking for good French novels to help expand my French vocabulary and grammar. Where can I purchase these books if I can’t find them on Amazon, for example?

      I’ve found most of them on Amazon at some point, but you can also find digital copies on Kindle. I don’t have a Kindle, but I use the app and there are a lot of French books you can find digital copies of. You also might just search by author, and if it’s just for you, you wouldn’t need to be as specific on your searches. I like Marc Levy, Guillaume Musso, and Valérie Gans – all are perfect for a relaxing read.

      As for other places to buy books, I’ve also bought them from LecturesdeFrance.com and écolesdesloisirs.fr, and there are a lot of great magazines at groupebayard.com – both for kids and adults.

    I’m studying French after more than forty years away from French. As a 75 years old, my mind doesn’t remember so easily but I decided that I’ll master French. I enjoyed reading your comments about French books that can help. I have a question: can I get these books as ebooks? That would be great. Merci beaucoup

      You can do it! I lived in Italy in high school, and Italian is my 4th language. After many years of not speaking it, I have decided to review it so I can go back to Italy when the world opens back up. It is not as easy as it was decades ago!
      I have found ebooks on Amazon for Kindle. I don’t have a Kindle, but I use the app on my iPad. I also found a lot of Petit Nicolas stories that I’ve been reading with my son.
      Best of luck!

    Hi,
    My daughter did French immersion in elementary school. She is now in 7th grade (US) and is doing an independent study in French. However, the instructor is not used to teaching immersion students and so, the texts and films they are using are not advanced enough. My daughter’s French is quite good and she can read at the same level of higher that native speakers of her age. Do you have any suggestions for books for 12-14 age that are advanced enough in vocabulary and storyline but not too mature in the content. Thanks so much!

      The books I have listed here are all books I read with 6th and 7th immersion students, and they are appropriate for 6-8 native speakers, so I’d start here. I really love the books La rivière à l’envers by Jean-Claude Mourlevat. He wrote two – one from the girl’s perspective and another from the boy’s. It’s a story of adventure that my students really enjoyed. I’m reading one of them right now with my 6th grader.
      I have not read Les bas du pensionnat but a lot of teachers really love it, so you might check that out.
      We also subscribe to J’aime lire from Bayard. He’s about aged out of them, but they also have magazines and other subscriptions for older kids. You could check those out.
      https://www.bayard-jeunesse.com/magazines-11-20-ans.html
      Hope that helps!

EVEN BIG KIDS LOVE TO COLOR 🖍⁣ ⁣ One of my EVEN BIG KIDS LOVE TO COLOR 🖍⁣
⁣
One of my favorite quiet activities for those days when students are a little over-stimulated is a color by code for grammar.⁣
⁣
Even high schoolers like to color, but I have to admit, I didn't think about doing these types of activities when I first started teaching. It wasn't until I had accidentally left out the coloring books I kept for those times my son was in my classroom that I realized it, because they ALL wanted to color when they finished their finals. ⁣
⁣
I had a total 💡 moment! ⁣
⁣
So, since then, I've always tried to make a few color by code activities to review parts of speech or verbs, and they love it! ⁣

SELF-CARE⁣ ⁣ I love bubble baths a little more SELF-CARE⁣
⁣
I love bubble baths a little more than the average person, but when I think of self-care, that's not the only thing that comes to mind.⁣
⁣
Here are a few ways I love to take care of myself when I'm overwhelmed - or how I like to keep myself in good shape mentally and physically.⁣
⁣
If you know a little about me, then you know that I love to run and read. Those are not on my list, because they are habits for me, so they aren't my self-care routines I tend to forget about.⁣

This list is the things I need to make myself do when I'm down so that I feel a little more myself.⁣

WHAT I'M READING⁣ ⁣ Disclaimer - I've read thi WHAT I'M READING⁣
⁣
Disclaimer - I've read this before and I'm reading it again, because I just tend to do that with books. 😉⁣
⁣
A lot of the time, the classroom was not a happy place for me. I didn't really understand why, but I would cringe when a teacher told us to go find a partner.⁣
⁣
I knew I wasn't going to like what was coming because:⁣
A. I don't enjoy working with people.⁣
B. Going and finding my own partner was really stressful for me.⁣
C. The activity was bound to be noisy, and I really don't like that.⁣
⁣
It wasn't until many years later, as a teacher myself, that I realized that there wasn't something "wrong" with me, although people often thought I was snotty or mean because I don't talk much or reach out to people.⁣
⁣
As a teacher, especially a language teacher, I understand the importance of group work, but I have also been extremely cautious to not have students just "find a partner." I know the anxiety that created for me, and I think there are always students like that in the classroom. ⁣
⁣
I'm intentional about putting students in groups, and I have had students tell me in my student feedback survey that they really appreciated that.⁣
⁣
This book is a great read if you are an introvert yourself, because it definitely helped me understand that it's okay to want quiet and prefer being alone a lot of the time.⁣
⁣
It's great for extroverts, because I know many times people have not understood when I was overwhelmed with the noise or the people and I needed to go home.  For teachers, it would give a good insight into those students who really don't seem to like groups. ⁣
⁣
If you're looking for some summer reading, it's not the lightest read, but it is a book that I've found really helpful.⁣

LISTENING⁣ ⁣ I don't know about you, but help LISTENING⁣
⁣
 I don't know about you, but helping students improve listening skills has always been the hardest part of teaching French. Whether it was in immersion or FSL, the students have always been very used to my voice or the voices of their other teachers, but when we listen to songs, watch movies, or listen to audio tracks, they have a hard time understanding different accents.⁣
⁣
I wanted to find a way to make listening to a native speaker more accessible, even to beginners, even when they don't understand all the words, even when they can't see the teacher gesturing.⁣
⁣
If you've used my differentiated reading activities, then you know that they make the same text accessible to different levels. My listening activities do the same thing, but this time, it's with audio tracks recorded by native speakers around the francophone world.⁣

END THE YEAR RIGHT!⁣ ⁣ It's getting to be that END THE YEAR RIGHT!⁣
⁣
It's getting to be that time! No matter how ready I've ever been for a school year to end, it somehow ends up that I'm scrambling on the last few days to get stuff done. ⁣
⁣
Sound familiar?⁣
⁣
Here are a few things you can do to make a smoother transition into summer.⁣
⁣
1. Throw stuff away. Seriously. Do not save things for projects you may never do. Just throw it out. (I am terrible at this.)⁣
⁣
2. Put the meaningful things in a locked cabinet or take them home. Your classroom isn't really yours, and during summer school, maintenance, or just when it's empty, something you value might get lost or broken.⁣
⁣
3. Get organized. I'm a huge fan of the dollar store, and I love pretty bins, so this is actually really fun for me. ⁣
⁣
4. Plan ahead if you have to sign out with a checklist. Try and do a few ahead of time if you can so you aren't running all over the building on the last day.⁣
⁣
5. Have fun! You spent all year building a family, and now it's time to say goodbye. As much as everyone is ready to sleep in a little, it's hard to say goodbye. Make some good memories on your last few days.⁣
⁣
6. Empty your snack drawer. I won't even tell you how disgusting it is when you leave a few non-packaged snacks (bags of fruit 🤢) in your drawer over the summer. So much for healthy eating...⁣

NEW BOOK📚⁣ ⁣ If you've been following along NEW BOOK📚⁣
⁣
If you've been following along for a while, then then you might know that my goal is to read 52 books this year. It used to be a book for each year of my age, but I was doing that easily, so I just decided a book a week would be a nice goal.⁣
⁣
I've been reading The People We Keep by Allison Larkin and it's great!⁣
⁣
It's a coming of age story that really resonated with me, because it's about a girl who ends up on her own and, as a result, she drops out of school. It's a story of amazing resilience that I found particularly touching as a teacher, because we never quite know what kids are going through when they aren't in our classrooms. ⁣

Yesterday I took a social media and news break. Ne Yesterday I took a social media and news break. News in America is rarely good, and I just have to step back.  I woke this morning and heard of yesterday’s school shooting while my husband was listening to the news. I opened up my phone to learn more before my son woke up, because I wanted to talk with him before school.  My son woke up for his last day of school and came downstairs to find me crying. When he asked me what was wrong, I struggled to find the words to explain to him what had happened.  These kids were having their last week of school. They did all the normal things, never knowing it was the last time they would do them.  How do I tell him what happened and then send him off like everything is normal? He’s in middle school, so he’s going to hear about it. I don’t want to hide it from him. I also don’t want to scare him. But it’s scary. And it’s real. It’s scary that it keeps happening and lawmakers just won’t make changes to keep us safe.  I don’t tell him of the many active shooter drills I’ve done. I certainly never imagined that when I was doing teacher training.  I don’t tell him that this happens in America far too often.  I don’t really quite have the words to tell him, because I can’t wrap my head around it myself.  So I tell him what I know, hug him the hardest I can, and send him to school.  How do we just keep going on like it’s all okay? None of this is okay.

I haven’t wanted to put it down, but I’m spending a long weekend with my sis and don’t want to leave her waiting for me! 😂  #readinglist #frenchteacherlife #frenchteachers #whatimreading #booknerd
Happy Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day is always b Happy Mother’s Day!  Mother’s Day is always bittersweet for me, because I lost my mom years ago.  I have an amazing mother-in-law and aunt, and I’m thankful to share the day with them. Plus, I have beautiful flowers in my garden from my mom’s house, so I know she’s still with me.  As a mom myself, I so appreciate having a day where I can relax and be with my family. I wanted so very much to be a mom and it didn’t happen easily, so I’m extra thankful for my son! ❤️  I wish you a wonderful Mother’s Day if you’re celebrating with your mom and a day full of warm memories if you can’t be with her. 💕

HELLO MAY! April brought nothing but cold weathe HELLO MAY!  April brought nothing but cold weather and Covid to my world, so I'm hoping May looks better!  Today was beautiful and I went for a nice run, so things might just be looking up. 
🤞  I've got a few huge things planned for this month, but life has been showing me that I can make all the plans I want, but things are just gonna happen how they want to. I guess I'll get to them in good time, right?  #frenchteachers #frenchteachersoninstagram
