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.

Originally reviewed on TPTNot long ago my grade 5/6 Core French students in Ontario asked for something to do once they are done their must-do tasks. They said they were tired of blooket and kahoot! and wanted something more. I printed the passages and gave each student a package. Now, once they are done lesson tasks – they go straight to the package and it is perfect for their level. We have touched on these topics at one point or another. I would have loved it if the package came with a list of difficult vocabulary/ expressions that come up in the texts. Other than that, amazing time-saver!

Originally reviewed on TPTI love that these are differentiated activities. Our school has a focus this year on close reading, and this helps us practice reading strategies on short French texts that the students can understand and are not intimidated by. C’est parfait. Merci.
