The environment is different for children learning to read in French. Depending on the community in which they live, they may have limited exposure to the French language outside of the classroom. In addition, it is a challenge to find reading resources such as levelled texts that are adapted to the Franco-Ontarian context.
The school may be the only place where the children are exposed to French in a meaningful and consistent way. It becomes critical, then, that the school be a place steeped in French language and culture, and that support programs be strong and readily available. These programs include Actualisation Linguistique du Français (ALF) and Perfectionnement du Français (PDF). ALF is designed for children who are entitled to attend French-language schools and who have little or no fluency in French. It provides the children with the linguistic and cultural skills they need for learning. The PDF curriculum is a basic literacy program and an orientation to Canadian culture for new Canadians. These children may have had schooling in another country, but their schooling was disrupted or the system was very different from the Franco-Ontarian system, and so they lack rudimentary skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. PDF provides instructional support and familiarizes the children with both the Franco-Ontarian education system and their new social and cultural environment. |
