You in all probability know of plenty of sources for brief French texts and audio texts already. Personally, I’ve been on the lookout for one thing just a little longer. This is what I’ve managed to seek out for us.
I observe a number of kids’s authors on social media. For English audiences, I’ve observed a variety of individuals doing read-alouds for teenagers, or giving academics permission to try this for their very own courses of scholars. In French, this has appeared just a little scarcer. (What’s new, proper?) Effectively immediately I used to be excited to identify one thing new. Pierre-Luc Bélanger, a reasonably prolific francophone creator who can be a instructor, based on his profile, determined to share an unpublished work by way of read-aloud on YouTube. It is referred to as Les folles aventures de Florimond Fleury au cirque. You could find his introductory video, after which try every subsequent chapter as effectively. There are ten chapters plus a prologue. In case your college students or your personal youngsters watch one per day, that may carry you thru two weeks of at-home studying! Merci beaucoup, M.
You will have already heard that plenty of edtech firms have made issues free – for now – as effectively. Audible is one such supply. I’ve seen plenty of posts referring to how they’ve free ebooks for a lot of langauges. For French, there have been solely 21 books in whole once I seemed. And a few are the standard public area French literature – Le Compte de Montecristo & a number of contes. Nonetheless, there have been a few GOOD choices as effectively, for junior-intermediate immersion college students or probably even highschool French langauge learners. Porteur de masques, Le journal d’Alice (Tome 1), La course des tuques, and L’école des gars (Tome 1) can be my picks for prolonged studying by means of listening. If you happen to like, you possibly can search for an e-book model of those novels as effectively, in order that your youngster can learn alongside whereas listening to the audio guide. In my home, I would be completely pleased with both of my youngsters listening to the audio guide by itself although as effectively. For this, you will need to obtain the Aubible app.
Try on fb the web page for le Competition de littérature jeunesse de Montréal as effectively. These are shorter reads, however complete stoybooks at the least. Wednesday posts shall be for older readers, they are saying. That is likely to be one thing useful to remember when looking for one thing to enchantment to numerous ages.
There’s additionally a fb video recording that I discovered of Un Cheveu sur la soupe by the writer 400 coups. This one is just a little off – I am not judging as a result of I’ve not tried recording myself reside whereas studying – however the image guide is displayed backwards. Most likely nonetheless completely acceptable for simply trying on the illustrations although, I would suppose.
Two requests, earlier than I am going:
1) If I am flawed and there are of us who want a listing of the place you possibly can entry numerous shorter texts for kids to only learn, please let me know.
2) I am pleased so as to add different sources in case you have some nice leads. I am conscious of different books learn aloud on Youtube, however I am attempting to honour copyright even on this difficult and surreal instances.
I hope that helps somebody on the market! Keep protected, keep indoors, and keep sane, mes amis! Please do be at liberty to share the hyperlink to this publish, or my tweet about it, to oldsters and academics who you suppose could want to learn.
