Noël - One week French reading program for Christmas

Theme: Quand je me réveille le matin de Noël...

This one-week French reading comprehension program is suitable for upper-beginner to intermediate level primary or secondary levels. This program will have your students reading every day of the week, and is perfect for core or French immersion. These reading activities are specifically meant to be used along with my my Christmas themed vocabulary and writing programs which use a lot of the same words. Have a look at the video preview so I can tell you more about the activities that are included! Check out all of my Christmas resources for the French classroom here.

The reading activities in this program include five separate reading comprehension activities for Monday through Friday. These reading worksheets are a great way to practice new themed vocabulary, see sight words in action, and to improve overall comprehension. Each worksheet includes a paragraph that should be read three times, once for each of the three questions that follow. Students check off the circled numbers each time they read the text and then they answer the corresponding questions.

If you choose to purchase my bundled Christmas vocabulary, reading, and writing program #1, you'll find these reading activities helpful after completing the writing curriculum as your students will already be very familiar with the vocabulary that is used.
