The Best French Books for Grades 2 to 5
There is perhaps no better way to help learn and build language skills than by reading in that language. And in this case, the wonderful language is French!
Reading helps with comprehension, word retention, and vocabulary. However, reading in your second language can become quite overwhelming if what reading exceeds your learning level, especially if you’re a young student.

This means that the French books your children are reading won’t frustrate them, but instead entertain and teach them in a way that makes them want to read more French books!

Movies and TV shows are a great French resource for kids aged 7 to 10 because not only will they be practicing listening to the French language and becoming more familiar with it, they’ll also be enjoying themselves as they do it. This is a huge help to keeping kids interested in learning a second language!
