Homework Tool Kit:http://www.fslhomeworktoolbox.ca/
- This web site
is really great and I think most parents will find the Toolbox link very
helpful with French pronunciation. If you click on "Toolbox"
Then "everyday Language" you will find many word lists. You can
click on the words and hear the proper pronunciation.
- Also Under the
"Look and Listen" link you will find Instructional strategies to
support your child in reading, writing, and math at home.
French
/ English Dictionary:www.wordreference.com
- This is a
translating web site. It has many language translations, so please be sure
to choose the English to French or French to English translation from the
pull down menu next to the text box. This site is a great resource if used
properly. It is in my opinion the best online translator. One important
thing to know is that it works best with one word at time.
General: www.primarygames.com
- This web site
