Ways to support your child when you don't speak French 

  • Talk regularly to your child. Create opportunities to speak with your child about new experiences, what they are learning and thinking. Help your child to organize thoughts and ideas and to develop a broad vocabulary in your home language. 

  • Read aloud with your child and have them read aloud to you. Reading in any language with your child is beneficial. Have your child tell you about the characters, events, type of text, words used or the pictures they see. Expose your child to English and French reading materials as often as possible. Use a variety of genres in your daily reading (i.e. newspapers, comic books, fiction and non-fiction). 

  • Provide time and encouragement. Learning a new language may be frustrating at times. Most often if your child is experiencing difficulty in a particular subject area, the confusion may lie with the concept, not the language. Discuss and explain the concept in your home language. Be sure to speak with your child’s teacher if they continue to experience difficulty.  

  • Help your child to use French outside of the classroom by watching French programs, borrowing French books from the library and listening to French music.  You may also wish to enrol your child in sports and summer camps provided in French through various community partners.
