January Homework Tips
Read aloud each day. You will be modeling good reading and increasing expression reading. Make it part of your routine. Children
who are read to regularly will have better comprehension skills.
Surely it would be better to read to your child in French. However, if this is not possible, there are several advantages to read to him in
English too. For example, reading comprehension strategies are almost the same in both English and French. Here are a few that you can
practice at home with them;
- Make predictions about the story
- Make connections with your own life
- Asking questions about words that are more difficult or new (find the word in French)
- Make the summary of the story
Remind your child that these strategies are used in English as in French. So they can use the same strategies when they read aloud to you
in French.
Have your child read out loud to you. Choose books in the reading books of the week. You can vary this time by having
your child read some pages or the entire book. Ask your kid to explain the story to you or make together predictions about the story. Play
with the reading comprehension reading. Make reading partner increases student motivation to read.
*** Visit the public library! Our public library has a selection of children’s French books.
Vocabulary words. When practicing vocabulary words at home, use lined paper. Remind your child to write on the line with the
appropriate space between two words. Encourage your child to use my recording vocabulary of the week I send you by email. Every Friday
a student is on charge for checking if the vocabulary words were practiced during the week (please, let tracks on the line paper). It is
important for your child to practice these words every night.
Maths. Playing card game and board games is a great way to improve skills and they also teach sharing and taking turns. Play Addition
and subtraction War! Take the face cards out of the deck and divide the deck among the players. Each player has a pile of cards face
down in front of them. Each player turns over two cards. The two cards are added together and each player says his/her total. The player
with the highest total takes all the cards in play and puts them at the bottom of his/her pile. In a tie, the tied players can play again to
break the tie. Use those wonderful Math’s websites in French:
