Description
Make teaching French reading comprehension in your core French or French immersion class so much easier with these differentiated activities! This set includes 10 French texts with differentiated questions so that you can easily offer just the right challenge to your core French, FSL or French immersion students. With these no-prep activities, this is perfect for centers or substitute days, too!
Foster a love of reading in your core French or French immersion class with easy-to-use French reading comprehension worksheets that were created just for beginning readers. Each text includes 3 different levels of questions, so you can easily use the same passage with different ability groups and grade levels. Students will love that these activities are just at their level, meaning that reading is less intimidating and a lot more fun!
Who is this French reading comprehension set good for?
These questions are appropriate for beginning core French and FSL students as well as French immersion classes beginning to work on reading comprehension. Check the images to assess the difficulty level and see if it meets your needs.
Use these differentiated French reading comprehension activities for beginners with your different proficiency levels.
Each passage includes:
- Short answer English questions and students can answer in English : These questions will be the easiest for true beginners in core French or FSL.
- Short answer French questions : This has the same style of questions as the English, however, the questions are in French and students are directed to answer in French. These are best for your more-advanced learners or French immersion classes.
- Multiple choice questions in French : Occasionally, students will locate specific information in the text (such as adjectives or certain verb tenses). These are great for any level, as the questions are a bit different than the short answer versions.
You can choose all one version for a class, but I like to use different versions based on student levels so that differentiation is super-easy! You can always print 2 versions back-to-back and let students choose their own activity.

- Je me présente

Originally reviewed on TPTLoved that I was able to differentiate for my students in so many different levels because I also teach 3 grades in one class of French!

Originally reviewed on TPTSuch amazing reading passages. Easy enough for my students to understand, but also challenging enough by using vocabulary they may not know. These are also fabulous to leave for supply teachers as they are ready to go!

Originally reviewed on TPTThese paragraphs are great for my French 1 students! They have been good for review and to show my students that they DO KNOW a lot of our vocabulary by now. I will use them for my French 2 students at the beginning of the semester to see what they know. I have them answer the questions and then create a google form with the questions and a few more, letting them use their paper and notes to answer the form. This has been a good resource for longer reading/comprehension.
