Description
Wish you had French reading comprehension activities that you could use with your core French or French immersion class? Looking for something to help you teach all your student proficiency levels? With these differentiated French reading activities, you can provide just the right level so all students are challenged. Just print and go and you are ready to get reading with your core French or French immersion class!
Foster a love of reading in your French 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 in French is less intimidating and a lot more fun!
Who are these French reading comprehension activities best for?
These questions are appropriate for beginning Core French students and French immersion classes beginning to work on reading comprehension. Grade level will vary based on when students began studying French.
French-only questions are appropriate for younger French immersion students who are beginning to read paragraphs. See the images to determine if the grade level is appropriate for your students. Still not sure? Email me at mmersresources (at) gmail.com.
It’s so easy to use these differentiated French reading comprehension activities with your different proficiency levels!
Each French reading passage includes:
- Short answer English questions and students can answer in English : These questions will be the easiest for core French beginners.
- 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 immersion classes.
- Multiple choice questions in French : Occasionally, students will locate specific information in the text. 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.
Teach core French and French immersion? No problem! You can use the same text and differentiate the questions!
This resource includes the following French reading passages:
- Un jour à la ferme
- Après l’école – sports themed reading
- Dans ma valise – travel and clothing themed
- Un jour à la plage
- À la boulangerie
- J’ai faim ! – After school snack themed
- Ma petite sœur
- Mon meilleur ami
- Le match de foot
- Un jour en ville
These passages and French reading comprehension activities focus on the present tense. Students will see a mix of common regular and irregular verbs. There are a few instances where they will see verbs of other tenses, but the use is simple enough for beginners.
Includes teacher key.

Originally reviewed on TPTThis reading comprehension activity is perfect to use my reading assessment for Grade 7/8 students. I loved that there are multiple versions that are differentiated so based on the level of French proficiency I can use the easier English version or to challenge my more advanced students with the French version.

Originally reviewed on TPTMost of my students are just learning to read in French so the differentiation in this packet is perfect for them. Sometimes I give the multiple choice option and other times I have them practice their sentence writing.
