Are you looking for materials to help your French students with reading and listening comprehension? This unique story and lesson will keep your students' attention, and it is ready to go and doesn't require any prep on your end.

Read and listen to a narrative story in French about Vanessa's daily routine - la routine quotidienne - in the present tense. Students will practice and strengthen reading, writing, and listening skills.

Many different French verbs are used in the present tense including regular verbs, irregular verbs, and reflexive verbs. Some verbs are used with various forms of negation.

This story is available in 6 tenses and in a money-saving bundle:

• Present Tense
• Passé Composé
• Imperfect
• Futur Simple
• Conditional
• Futur Antérieur
• Bundle of all 6 stories

Included:

• MP3 audio recording
• French only text version
• French and English text version
• Gap fill exercise - VERBS
• Gap fill exercise - VOCABULARY

➯ STEP 1: Listen to the audio recording of a typical day in the life of Vanessa. See how much you can understand without reading along. It's only a little more than two minutes long, so you can listen to it a few times if necessary.

➯ STEP 2: Listen and read along at the same time with the French only version of the text.

➯ STEP 3: Read the French and English version of the text and notice how the sentence structure changes when comparing the two languages. Take note of any new vocabulary or expressions.

➯ STEP 4: Gap fill exercise #1 - Fill in the blanks with verbs as you listen once again to the audio recording. Check your work with the French only version of the text.

➯ STEP 5: Gap fill exercise #2 - Improve listening skills and comprehension of syntax while increasing your vocabulary. This time, rather than filling in the blanks with verbs, you will listen closely to all of the other words and write what's missing in the exercise. Check your work with the French only version of the text.

Ready to use French stories save loads of time when you unexpectedly need to miss a day and provide substitute material.
